Weekend-Delhi

Himalayan Adventures: Finding Neverland

By Nikhil Chandra

Traveling to the rolling mountain-escape of Himalayas in Uttarakhand is always an enlightening experience, as much about spirit as about landscapes. The luxury of contrasting beauty manifest in sweeping valleys and undulating mountain peaks is akin to the difference between the void described by soul and the apparent divine perceived by heart. A journey to the “Devbhoomi”, abode of gods needs to be experienced. It’s a transcendental experience which can’t be shared…only told.

Journey to Goecha La – A jewel hidden at the foot of Kanchendzonga Part II

By SRIYANKA CHATTERJEE

Thangsing is guarded by Pandim on one side and a swift river flows noisily close by. One flank of the mighty Kanchenjungha shone brightly ahead of the path towards Goechala. Thangsing easily qualifies as the best spot enroute to Goechala Pass.

ग्वालियर में घुमक्कड़ी- जय विलास पैलेस

By Kamlansh Rastogi

इन सीढ़ियों से उतर कर हम महल के दूसरे भाग में पहुँचते हैं। यहाँ पर उस समय सवारी में प्रयुक्त होने वाल तरह -तरह की बग्घी रखी हुई हैं। यहाँ पर उस समय सवारी में प्रयुक्त होने वाल तरह -तरह की बग्घी , डोली आदि रखी हुई हैं।

इसके साथ ही महल के दूसरे भाग में हम पहुँचते हैं जिसे दरबार हाल के नाम से जाना जाता है। यहाँ पर राजसी भोजनालय है जहाँ पर एक साथ बहुत सारे लोगो के खाने की व्यवस्था है। मेहमानों के साथ यहीं पर खाना खाने का प्रबन्ध है। दरबार हाल की चकाचौंध उस समय के राज घराने के वैभव और विलासिता की दास्तान कह रहे थे। इसकी छत में लटके विशालकाय झाड़ – फानूस का वजन लगभग तीन – तीन टन है। इसकी छत इसका वजन उठा पायेगी या नहीं इसलिए छत के ऊपर दस हाथियो को चढ़ा कर छत की मजबूती की जाँच की गई थी। दरबार हाल में जाने की सीढ़ियों के किनारे लगी रेलिंग कांच के पायो पर टिकी हुई है। एक गार्ड यहाँ पर बैठा दर्शको को यही आगाह करवा रहा था कि रेलिंग को न छुए।

Kolkata to Kumaon – A stay at Allahabad

By Debjit Chakraborty

In Hindu tradition Triveni Sangam is the “confluence” of three rivers. Sangama is the Sanskrit word for confluence. The point of confluence is a sacred place for Hindus. A bath here is said to flush away all of one’s sins and free one from the cycle of rebirth.One such Triveni Sangam, in Prayag (Allahabad) has two physical rivers — Ganges and Yamuna — and the invisible Saraswati River. The place has religious importance and the site for historic Kumbh Mela held every 12 years,

How I Managed To Trek Kheerganga With My 8 Year Old Daughter!

By Anjali Chawla

There are two different legends that explains the origin of Kheerganga – One says that Lord Shiva meditated here for thousands of years and another says that Kartikeya, son of Lord Shiva and Parvati meditated here and the natural spring was emerged when Shiva struck the ground with His trishul on Parvati’s request as she was worried that her son wouldn’t get anything to eat here.

A Tryst with Himachal !

By Sharmistha Dan

From Naggar, one can hire bike and go around places, do hiking and on the way visit the famous Roerich Art Gallery. We kept climbing uphill for over an hour only to find ourselves in the middle of an apple orchard. We sat there for a long time plucking and eating fresh apples and berries form the trees while soaking into the amazing view and the silence all around. Coming close to nature has become a luxury for city dwellers.

माँ चंडी देवी, हरद्वार की यात्रा

By Arun Singh

माता के जिस स्वरूप की हम बात कर रहे है उसका थोड़ा व्याख्यान करना तो बनता है। तो प्रिय पाठकों माँ चंडी देवी का मंदिर नील पर्वत पर स्थित एक सिद्ध पीठ के रूप में प्रसिद्ध है। कहा जाता है की आठवीं शताब्दी में प्रसिद्ध हिन्दू धर्म गुरु आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा माता की मूर्ति की स्थापना यहाँ पर की गयी थी। इस स्थान से जुडी एक पौराणिक कथा यह है की शुम्भ-निशुम्भ नामक राक्षसों, जिन्होंने इंद्रा का साम्राजय अपने अधिपत्य में ले लिया था, का वध करने के बाद माता चंडी देवी, जिनकी उत्पत्ति देवी पारवती के अंश से हुयी थी, यहाँ पर कुछ समय के लिए विश्राम करने हेतु रुकी थी।

Gurgaon-Lansdowne Weekend Road Trip

By msupriyo

I will finish the story with few words about the Oak Grove Inn. The hotel is running for past one year and after an initial slow take off it remains full on most of week ends now. The normal rooms are small but very clean. I would recommend the family room as it is huge in size but there is only one available. Next time I go there I will ask for the top floor rooms which have a wide balcony (ideal for playing cards or chatting in a group) in front

Delhi to Lucknow in 5 hours via YEW and Agra Lucknow Expressway

By Shishir Kumar

It was a pleasure driving on this road. I counted 57 vehicles while going towards Lucknow on this expressway which means a lot of people are still unaware of it. I tried to maintain a consistent speed of 120 kmph on this road, but to my surprise I found I was driving at 130-135 kmph. There is very little noise while driving on this road. I encountered total 4 small diversions (diversion means when you have to drive on the wrong side of the expressway).

Holi at Holy Place of Mathura-Vrindavan

By Anchal Sarraf

When you will reach Temple, you can see people doing arti at Temple gate, as inside of Temple was quite crowded. Then everyone was entering inside through bit random queue, Priests were throwing colors on crowd, even everyone was throwing colors inside temple to show their happiness in celebrating holi with Lord Krishna, It’s an unbelievable experience to be a part of this event. When you are there you can’t see everything but just feel the blessing of that divine environment.
