A trip to Narkanda – Sangla – Chitkul – Kalpa – Jalori Pass

By

After crossing the dam towards Sangla, condition of road was not very good and it was narrow too, however it was fun driving through this chilling route along with green Baspa. My wife and son were also lost in this beautiful valley but my 13 yr daughter was alert enough to remind me to blow the horn at every blind turn which I think is advisable while driving on hills. Before reaching Sangla my kids were excited enough to peep the scenic beauty through the sunroof.

Kali Mathh -рдХрд╛рд▓реА рдорда

Kali Mathh -рдХрд╛рд▓реА рдорда

By

Kali Mathh is the only hindu temple, where they dont worship any pindi or any idol or photo. ┬аIt is only that hole which Kali caused, which is worshipped here. ┬аAll Shaktas at least once in their life, visit this place, specially Bengali Shakta followers. Even if you do not have deep religious appetite, the place is so beautiful, untouched by tourists and civilisation, that it would be a mistake not to have visited there by anybody loving Himalayas.

So in a wintery Feb,2010 I fixed programme with my childhood friends, Pradeep, Awasthi and Vijay to be ready for a surprise visit ! We started from Delhi early morning around 5 am and crossing the usually jammed roads, in the fastest way possible and reached Haridwar around 9. ┬аTaking a quick dip in Ganges, we continued our journey uphill and next stop was at Devprayag. ┬аYou all know it is from Devprayag that the name Ganga starts, after Bhagirathi meets with Alaknanda. ┬аWe stopped for a while for “Pind-daan” of my father who died 2 months before.

Ghumakkar Insights – What is on your mind and what goes into your bag?

By

But surely, there is one thing in common in all our expeditions. It is the seed of thought on our mind which grows and matures into a fully well planned and executed trip. A thought about where to go next is the seed I am talking about. While some of us get inspired by learning about places from friends, the new trend I see is the trend to explore the unexplored virgin places. Not bad at all, isnt it?

Kerala’s Green Treasures-Part Three

By

Alleppey beach beckoned us and we reached there in the scorching mid-day sun at 1 pm. We didn’t spend much time at the beach because of the extreme heat. We started looking around for a nice restaurant for lunch and the local suggestions led us to Hassan Restaurant, just half a km from the beach, on the way towards the town centre.

Mumbai-Canacona(South Goa)-Bangalore-Mumbai by car.

By

After several turns passing through small villages and asking on the way at long last we sighted the narrow NH 17 and turned left onto it toward Canacona. We reached the huge and luxurious Intercontinental Lalit Goa Resort at about 5 pm and checked in after a 9 hour drive from Satara. In retrospect, despite the slow progress, we actually thought we enjoyed the drive through the generous greenery and the suspense which lingered for the better part of the day. We had covered a total of 654Kms.
