Traveling is good
This must be a great inspiration for fellow ghumakkars : My friend is driving an autorickshaw for charity across india starting from cochin ending at kathmandu. This is her blog >> http://laidbackness.wordpress.com/

There are some really funny ones in there from other autorickshaw teams.
After about two and a half hours we reached Reckong Peo,or Peo, as it is popularly known. Peo is situated at an altitude of around 2200 metres above sea level and is at the base of the Kinner Kailash massif. From here, Kalpa was a short 20 minute drive and by lunch time we reached Kalpa. Our plan was to halt at the PWD rest house, which turned out to be a cottage with an excellent view of the mountains. Staying in Kalpa can be compared to living in the lap of nature. Overlooking the Kinner Kailash range, this is one of the most picturesque hill stations one can ever visit. This quaint town was once the headquarters of Kinnaur district before it was replaced by Reckong Peo. The collector’s office has now been taken over by the HP Irrigation Department while the old SP office is now a small police outpost. The old building of the District Hospital is visible behind the new building of a recently constructed Primary Health Centre. From Kalpa, one can spot the famous Shiva Linga, nestled in the middle of the Kinner Kailash massif. It is a 2 day trek from Kalpa for the strong and sturdy.
Very interesting. I have heard about it, I think I read it some where. Also, this brings the points of being able to share ‘other’s stuff’ or ‘recommendations’ or likewise. I have been thinking about having a page or a widget in side-bar where people can add things like ………… ” I read this somewhere and here is an excerpt and then the link goes to the original web site…
What fellow ghumakkars think ? , opinion time.
There has been an auto rally last year as well and I dont remember who organised it , but my former company had tied up with it and we promoted the same..it was mainly foreigners and expats who partcipated
In Chennai, there are regular auto races at ECR by the auto drivers ..in fact a movie has been made on the same
And I think its a great idea, Nandan
