Badrinath & Kedarnath

October 20, 2019 Travel

Religious or Adventurous? This is the eternal dilemma faced by majority of Indians, when they start planning for this trip. I don't know about the millennial's but the generation before Y2K has grown up listening 'marne se pehle Badri-Kedar dham ki yatra pe jana hai'. To them I say "It [...] Read more

The land of sunrise – Arunachal

I guess a trip to Arunachal Pradesh, would figure in every adventure seeking Indian's bucket list. The fear of unknown w.r.t. terrain, infrastructure, weather and people (language), makes it not only challenging but also a very attractive destination. And these very reasons work the other way round also, in pushing [...] Read more

OK for the sake of this blog and to convince my readers. Let me admit "I am a middle class Indian", who in his lifetime aspires to see the Niagara falls and also experience the Trans-Siberian train or Rocky Mountaineer train journeys (Pls note - Middle class but with aspirations!). [...] Read more

Life is a Journey, enjoy the DRIVE! I believe that one can't get her/his fill of Ladakh. And there is no better way but to hit the road and rough it out....... My old friends would remember the albums, the story, the blog of our journey in 2002. It captured [...] Read more

Visiting Nepal and exploring it by road is an exciting proposition. You can combine a mix of Lake, Himalayas, Religious places and Forest reserves in a single trip. I was based in Lucknow and we did a 5 day trip covering Pokhara, Kathmandu, Nagarkot and Chitwan National park. Crossed the [...] Read more

If you want to see Himalayas from close quarters in India, then the place to go to, is Munsyari. There, the 'Rajrambha peak' and 'Panchachuli range' are like "On your face" and it offers a 180 degree uninterrupted view of Himalayas. A small town in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, with [...] Read more

This part of Himachal is full of mystique. And the journey has a spiritual touch to it. The terrain is challenging with greens all the way through Shimla, Narkanda, Rampur and upto Sangla. It gets desert dry after Kalpa and until you cross over Rohtang pass and get into Manali [...] Read more

It's a matter of debate, whether post monsoon period is the best time to go for trekking. You will find the greenery, the rivers, the waterfalls, the possibility of sighting wildlife/birds very very inviting. But the general damage to the roads, treks and night shelter is a nightmare. One of [...] Read more

Year 2002. It was like walking through a dream with your eyes wide open. You must have heard that one shouldn't stay long in high mountain passes due to low oxygen levels and resulting high altitude sickness. What if you were to get stuck in one of these passes? Read [...] Read more

Watch out! Tiger!!! Imagine the scare it would create. We were hurtling down the road at 1'o clock in the night and I was turning a corner in the hills past Tehri town. Those were some crazy days... We were driving from Delhi for Ghuttu, somewhere between Ghansali and our [...] Read more
