Pune to South Goa Road Trip

By Vijay Shivdasani

At 12.30 pm we crossed over into Karnataka, and paid another toll. Immediately we could sense that we were in a different state. The traffic was much less in Karnataka as compared to the heavy traffic right upto Kolhapur in Maharashtra. The scenery was better, with undulating hills in the distance. There were flowering bushes in the road divider which made the drive more pleasant, and lay-byes with public utilities at regular intervals along the highway.

वाटरटन नेशनल पार्क और यु.एस. बोर्डर (भाग २)

By Surinder Sharma

पार्क की सुबह बहुत खूबसूरत थी. हिरण जैसे दो प्राणी घूम रहे थे. सुबह उठ कर एक चक्कर गांव का लगाता हूँ. एक दुकान खुली देख कर अंदर काफी लेने जाता हूँ, साथ ही खाने के लिए एक पेस्ट्री ले लेता हूँ. यह दुकान वाला बहुत सामान बेच रहा था. काफी, ब्रेड चोकलेट, और बहुत सा सामान. पेट्रोल पम्प भी इस दुकान वाले का ही था. साथ में साइकल भी किराये पर दे रहा था. एक साइकल का एक घंटे का किराया १० डॉलर, और हेल्मट के १० डॉलर अलग से. साथ में मोटर बाइक भी किराये के लिए थे.

A visit to Jallianwala Bagh, Golden Temple & Wagha Border

By Amitava Chatterjee

Today India is a vibrant Nation. However, we tend to take many things for granted. In our normal day to day, routine life we hardly remember them who sacrificed their life to free our motherland. On our 66th years of Independence, let’s make a resolution to make India beautiful and fight against terrorism, anti-social elements, corruptions…each one of us can make a difference.

Rewalsar – A sacred confluence of multi religions

By Vipin

When you come to Rewalsar, you cannot be untouched by the spiritual vibrations being reflected in every activity in this sacred land, be it the chirpings of the birds, soulful chantings from the monastery or temple or Gurubani from the Gurudwara, people feeding hungry souls in the lake, pondering monkeys over the trees, Buddhist prayer flags swirling in the air, swimming ducks in the lake, meditating and contemplating holy people on bank of the lake, the green and serene water of the lake, monks running the prayer-wheels, beautiful surrounding hills, finely ornated colourful monasteries with young monks playing around, burning oil lamps, ringing bells, cows and dogs resting near the lake, swaying trees, smiling flowers etc, whatever passes through your eyes gives you a sort of positive vibrations.

Self-Drive trip across Thailand (7 days, 2000 kms) : Part 5 – Bang Saen to Kampaeng Phet

By AUROJIT

We had plans of visiting heritage sites and local night market, but lassitude takes over as soon as we arrive. After strolling around the neighbourhood, spying on local shops and outlets, we are back to the guest house.
There are number of cosy sit-outs within the house. In the evening, guests have gathered here to relax and chat-up. Soon I connect up with Bill, an Austrian from Vienna and Shoo, a Thai traveller. Yes, they tell, they are also travelling across Thailand. While exchanging notes I discover that both of them (though travelling separately) are very special Ghumakkars. Bill (actually Bills, a couple) has arrived here Cycling all the way from AUSTRIA! Well, the story goes like this. They are avid cyclists. They have covered large parts of the globe cycling. Bill roughly cycles for an year in one go! By end of the year long loop, he is back in Vienna to earn his livelihood. After earning for about 6-8 months, he is again out for the next trip. He tells us that he does not own a car and has a very small house in Vienna. He works just to make enough money for the next trip. Same is the story of his partner. She is from the same place and they share the same passion. They are 6 months into the current trip and plan to cycle north to China and then through Kazakhstan and Eastern Europe to Vienna. Their belongings, typical for cyclists, comprise of two rucksacks (strapped to either side of the carrier) and a sleeping bag cum tenting equipment.

इसके बाद हम प्रकर्ति का अजूबा घूचूपानी या रोबर्स केव की और चल पड़े |हमारे गाइड और ऑटो चालक ने बताया जब आप अंदर जाओगे तो ऐसा लगेगा की आप वात्तानुकुलित सुरंग मे चल रहे है |घूचूपानी, देहरादून से 8 किलोमीटर दूर राजपुर रोड पर अनारवाला गांव से 1 किलोमीटर की पैदल दूरी पर सिथत है |यह एक प्राकर्तिक गुफा है जिसमे लगभग आधा किलोमीटर अंदर तक आप जा सकते है|गुफा के अंदर पानी गुप्त स्रोतों से बह रहा है |यंहा टिकेट ले कर हम अंदर परवेश कर गये ऐसा लग रहा था जैसे डिस्कवरी चैनल के किसी प्रोग्राम में शामिल हो गये है |कंही सुंदर झरना है तो कंही ऊपर से गुफा की दीवार मे से पानी की बोछार हो रही है |कभी आप कमर तक पानी मे डूब जाते है तो अगले ही पल पानी एकदम गायब हो जाता है|मेरे नटखट पुत्र ने इस जगह को नाम दिया गुपचुप पानी |

राजवाड़ा – इंदौर का आईना

By Kavita Bhalse

कृष्णपुरा की छत्रियां (Cenotaphs), इंदौर के होलकर राजवंश के पूर्व शासकों की समाधियाँ हैं. ये छत्रियां इंदौर की खान नदी के किनारे पर निर्मित हैं तथा वास्तुकला की दृष्टि से एक उत्कृष्ट निर्माण हैं. सैकड़ों वर्षों से विद्यमान ये छत्रियां होलकर मराठा राजवंश के गौरवशाली ईतिहास की द्यौतक हैं. मराठा वास्तुकला शैली में निर्मित ये छत्रियां पर्यटकों को बहुत लुभाती हैं तथा आमंत्रित करती हैं. ये छत्रियां मालवा की शासिका महारानी कृष्णाबाई, महाराजा तुकोजीराव तथा महाराजा शिवाजीराव की समाधियों पर निर्मित हैं तथा इन्हीं शासकों को समर्पित हैं. इन छत्रियों में सभाग्रह तथा गर्भगृह हैं, गर्भगृह में इन शासकों की मूर्तियों के साथ अब हिन्दू देवी देवताओं की मूर्तियाँ भी स्थापित कर दी गई हैं.

Rejuvenating Trip to Naukuchiatal

By aashima

After a good stroll, my hunger meter was on & I enjoyed a nice buffet spread at restaurant. We went again for best spot near lake side & enjoyed the peace around the place. One shikara was approaching us & he offered us to take ride in lake. He also offered us cab service for local sightseeing. We decided to visit Sattal which was about 15-20 kms from our place. After taking a nap, we were ready to go on sightseeing, we preferred to took cab and rely on local info.

While on way to Sattal, we also explored Naldamiyanti Tal & Garuda Tal.The drive was very sceneric and Garuda tal was worth going. it was a perfect place to have a picnic or just being in lap of nature. Sattal was little commercialsed & we just spent ½ hr there.

इंदौर – मध्य प्रदेश का कोहिनूर / ट्रेज़र आईलेंड में सैर सपाटा

By Kavita Bhalse

ट्रेज़र आईलेंड के मुख्य आकर्षणों में Max Retail, PVR, McDonalds, Pizza Hut आदि हैं, और ये सब मध्य प्रदेश में सबसे पहले यहीं यानी इंदौर के ट्रेज़र आईलेंड में ही शुरू हुए. हर बजट को सूट करती हुई शौपिंग के लिए इंदौर में ट्रेज़र आईलेंड से बढ़कर और कोई जगह नहीं है. इंदौर के युवाओं की तो यह जगह पहली पसंद है. लैंडमार्क ग्रुप ने भारत में अपने पहले रिटेल स्टोर की शुरुआत ट्रेज़र आईलेंड इंदौर से ही की थी. यह मॉल नॉएडा तथा गुडगाँव के मॉल्स की टक्कर का है. सभी उम्दा ब्रांड्स के शोरूम्स से सजे धजे इस मॉल में स्टेट ऑफ़ आर्ट एस्केलेटर्स भी लगे हैं. यह इंदौर ही नहीं समूचे मध्य प्रदेश का सबसे बड़ा मॉल है. इंदौर के लोगों के लिए तो ट्रेज़र आईलेंड किसी टूरिस्ट स्पॉट से कम नहीं है.

Self-Drive trip across Thailand (7 days, 2000 kms): Part-2 Preparing for the trip

By AUROJIT

Thailand packages are tediously limited to Bangkok and Pattaya (that’s how they are bundled up by travel agents here); and for the more desirous ones, add-ons are Phuket or Krabi. Ditto, while discussing Thailand with colleagues who have visited it, all they had on offer were superficials limited to these destination. And here is what we observed – Bangkok, where we spent maximum time was the most uninspiring despite all its glitzy malls, tourist spots, shopping centers, et al and Pattaya, which we drove across, did not appear much different. Actually, both the places had ‘TOURISTY – NOT AUTHENTIC’ tag imprinted bolder than the fonts here for any discerning traveler to see. Our best memories of the country extend beyond (and almost exclude) these two places.

By AUROJIT

Soon after landing at Suvanrnabhumi airport, Bangkok we picked up the car and moved south to Bang Saen, a local beach-destination some 100 kms south of Bangkok. Thereafter, we drove to Chiang Mai in North Thailand, bypassing Bangkok (Bangkok to Chiang Mai is about 700 kms).
