Adventure

A beautiful short trip to Andaman…

By Ankit Saxena

Around 07:00 in the evening we reached Port Blair and decided to spend some time on “Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex”. For dinner we found another famous restaurant in Aberdeen Market named “Annapurna”. Annapurna is a pure veg restaurant with wide varieties of North Indian n South Indian dishes. The quality of the food was also very good and the prices were also reasonable. We were so impressed by the food that we decided to make this our permanent stop for Breakfast and Dinner.

Goa calling… Again

By Prats

Finally the Gods rescued us and we found a (good) restaurant right on the beach, a perfect ambience and the sea-breeze in our hairs. We ordered quite a number of dishes- mainly chicken as I am unable to ingest the typical seafood like Mr. H or his friends or my friends.

दिल्ली से दयारा बुघयाल की सैर

By Sagar

हम २:३० दोपहर को दयारा बुघयाल पहुच गए. हर तरफ सफेद रंग बिखरा था. बहुत ज्यादा बर्फवारी हो रही थी. रूफटोप के नीचे हम आराम कर रहे थे एंव आगे की रणनीति सोच ही रहे थे कि हमने देखा कि एक विदेशी पर्यटक , ३0 की उम्र , अकेले, हमारे थोडे बाद ही दयारा पहुचा है. स्पैन के उस बन्दे से १५-२०मिनट तक भिन्न भिन्न मुददो पर बात हुई जैसे मोदी,वीजां ,स्पैन का मौसम,लेह – लदाख आदि। घूमने का असली मकसद ही नई- नई जगह देखना और लोगौ को जानना है.

हिमाचल का अनमोल रत्न ‘त्रिउण्ड’ : आकर्षक पर्वतारोहण क्षेत्र

By MUNESH MISHRA

जिस प्रकार स्वादिष्ट व्यंजनों की चर्चा भूखे व्यक्ति की भूख को ओर अधिक बढ़ा देती है उसी प्रकार त्रिउण्ड के प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य की चर्चा ने घुमक्कड़ों की लालसा को भी बढ़ा दिया होगा. जिन्होंने त्रिउण्ड की घुमक्कड़ी नहीं की है उनके मन में अवश्य ही ये प्रश्न उठ रहे होंगे कि त्रिउण्ड कैसे पहुंचा जाए,

Giraffe Centre and Nairobi Town

By Snig Bhaumik

One of the engaging and delightful thing you can do there is to feed those animals with your own hands. Of course you cannot just make them eat anything of your choice, the volunteers roaming around there distribute the food that are only allowed.

Valley of Flowers | The Wonderland

By Anupam Chakraborty

Truly it would have been impossible for us, to take a step without crushing a flower, had there been no stone paves deep into the Valley of Flowers. We walked deep into the valley; saw many flowers of different colours, pink, blue, red, white, yellow and many others. Every single flower, though tiny, is so beautiful and colourful that none gets less attention from the visitors. These flowers are all wild. They vary in shape and colour at different altitudes. The flowers in the valley keep changing in different phases of monsoon. So after every 10-15 days of interval, a new set of flowers replace the old flowers and the Valley gets a new look every time such changes are happened. But do not expect to see any big flower in the valley as they do not reside here.

ऋषिकेश में रिवर राफ्टिंग

By Shivam Singh

‘जय गंगा मैया’ की ध्वनि के साथ हम लोग राफ्ट लेकर चल पड़े | राफ्टिंग में सर्वाधिक आनंद पर्वतों के बीच से बहती तेज नदी के बीच एक छोटे से राफ्ट से बड़े बड़े हरे-हरे पर्वतों को देख कर होता है | ऐसा लगता है मानो मनुष्य न जाने क्यों गर्व करता है प्रकृति के सामने उसकी कोई सत्ता नहीं है | बड़े बड़े खड़े पर्वत किसी साधना में लीन साधु की तरह लग रहे थे | उनके ऊपर उगे पेड़ झाड़ियाँ उनके बढ़ी हुई दाढ़ी की तरह और चोटियाँ सर के चोटी की तरह प्रतीत हो रही थी | यही शांत, सुखमय वातावरण मानसिक और आतंरिक रूप से संतुष्टि प्रदान करता है | अक्सर चारों ओर देखने में, मैं एक दो पल के लिए भूल भी जाता था; की राफ्टिंग कर रहा हूँ | होश तब आता जब हमारे कमांडर आगे आने वाले रैपिड के लिए आगाह करते | शिवपुरी से राम झुला तक लगभग 16km की राफ्टिंग में कुल नौ रैपिड आते हैं जिन्हें एक से लेकर 5 डिग्री तक चिन्हित किया गया है | आगे आने वाले रैपिड का नाम रोलर कोस्टर था जो 5 डिग्री का था इसमे राफ्ट बाहर से घूमकर अन्दर की ओर तेजी से आती है | हम सभी लोग तेज से चिल्लाये | उत्साह दिखाने के लिए सबके अपने अपने चिल्लाने के तरीके होते हैं | वैसे कमांडर ने रैपिड के बीच में शोर से मना किया था ताकि उसके द्वारा दिए गये कमांड को हम लोग सुन सके |

Pangong Lake – Travelers’ Delight!

By Anupam Chakraborty

The last leg of our journey to the mystical and majestic Ladakh was ‘Pangong Tso’! In local language Lake is called Tso. Pangong Lake falls in the disputed territory with China. So the whole lake does not belong to India. While China occupies two-third part of this magnificent high altitude lake, India remains satisfied with mere one-third part of it.

These days the Lake is a favourite tourist place among the domestic tourists much credit for which goes to the bollywood movie ‘3idiots’! …….

How incredible it was to see the tranquil lake and its azure blue waters! Pangong Tso is one of the largest saline lakes in Asia. On the Lake shore we walked and saw the effects of changing colours of the lake, aqua green to indigo blue! The saline water of the lake plays with the sunlight and produces different colours. We were told that during winter the lake freezes and become a solid surface to walk over it. Well, walking over a frozen lake! You need to check certainly the best season to visit there!

Road to Nubra Valley over Khardung La

By Anupam Chakraborty

We were told that weather is very unpredictable and highly unstable and can change surprisingly fast at Khardung La. It may leave travelers trapped for hours or even days, but nothing like that happened to us, except heavy downpour on our way back on the following day.

We started descending from Khardung La. By now ‘Rahman’, the driver of our car became familiar with me. As I pointed the camera, he stopped the car. I came out to click. A small lake surrounded by the mountains just below the Khardung La looked so beautiful.

We set off again. Soon we passed the village Khardung. It is a tiny green village surrounded by barren mountains. A drive of another 40 minutes or so and we met the river Shyok, a tributary of river Indus. The water of river Shyok looked muddy. Our journey continued by the bank of river Shyok.

Majestic Ladakh :: Hall of Fame and The Last Post

By Anupam Chakraborty

As we entered inside the museum we were briefed by an Army Personnel. This two storey museum is maintained by the Indian Army and divided into various sections for displays. A section of the ground floor portrays the facts, culture and history of Ladakh. It has a souvenir shop where you can get t-shitrs, coffee mugs, caps, pashnima shawls etc. Enthusiast may shoot photos in Ladakhi attire in the photo shop and take the print for a nominal charge. Finding no interest in it, we went to another section of the same ground floor. The walls here are occupied by the pictures of Kargil War 1999. It transported us to decades back. The displays on the walls gave us a vivid portrayal of how Indian Army fought the war.

Majestic Ladakh : Fotu La to Lamayuru, Alchi and Likir Monastery

By Anupam Chakraborty

Long ago when I saw a photo of ‘Moonland’ I was very much impressed and keen to see the place. But where it is? Though “Moonland’ does not have any Indian postal code or a milestone but it locates none other than in the mystical land of Ladakh, a village called Lamayuru! The moonlike landscape of ‘Lamayuru’ is popularly referred to and called by the traveler as ‘Moonland’!

Holy Muktinath And Beautiful Mustang- Part 2

By Anupam Chakraborty

I came back to hotel and joined my friends for our journey to Muktinath. Today we would pass through the village Kagbeni to reach Muktinath. Jomsom and Kagbeni is the main gateway of Muktinath. We drove only a few minutes and reached the riverbed of Kali Gandaki. Around that place Mr. Bachchan’s film “Khuda Ghawa’ was shot and our driver was more interested in showing us the shooting spots. But we were more excited to the adventurous drive over the riverbed. I peeped outside the window and saw wheels of our vehicle were rolling inside the river water. We crossed the river Kali Gandaki and started ascending through the rocky mountain road.

The climate and landscape all around looked like a rain shadow region of Himalaya, very similar to those of Ladakh region. It’s Mustang! A lost kingdom in Himalayas! We stopped and looked around. Far on the foothills of Mt. Dhaulagiri the view of tiny town Jomsom was awesome.
