Himachal Revisited (Aug,14)

By SilentSoul

This time, while in India, visit to Himachal was more of necessity than tourism… leaving behind Iceland, Landing in Delhi full of heat and humidity was not a joke…. at the airport itself, we were almost fainted and without waiting for my friend to come to pick up, hired a taxi and went home…the heat and humidity was unbearable as the body had tuned to climate of Iceland…. so to go back to Iceland settings, Himachal trip was mandatory

K5 Chandigarh to the Hippyland Kasol and Manikaran

By Vikas Kapil

It was a great relief when we crossed Bilaspur. Next big milestone was for Sunder Nagar which is about 43km. It was my first trip on this route. I had heard all the names of the places en route, but never visited one before. I was as excited as a child must be when he gets his first summer vacation. But, I had observed that Bollywood movies do not adopt these hill stations, they only adopt their names. The place called Kasauli in ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ was in no means Kasauli. So I assumed that Sunder Nagar will not be the place called Sunder Nagar in the movie “Main Prem Ki Diwani Hun”. I was absolutely right, it was a different place, and yes it is beautiful. We stopped there for a while. There’s a bridge (I don’t know where it leads to), there were many ‘kulche wallahs’ along that bridge. Arun could not help but to satisfy his pallet. Sunlight had started diminishing by now. Birds can be seen in groups, returning to their nests. We decided to cover one more stretch i.e. Sunder Nagar to Mandi which is about 40km.

In search of some trance: Kasol

By Vikas Kapil

This very famous hippy quote made me to search more and more about the hippy culture. I watched a documentary ‘Last Hippy Standing’ and finally decided to spend a few days in Kasol. I have been to the place once before, with my friends. But that was on bikes and we spent only a night in Kasol. This time i planned to stay there for atleast 4 days and same number of nights. After going through many blogs, I decided to stay at Alpine Guest House owned by Sanjay Mukherjee. The companion would be none other than Munish Bhya (who accompanied me to ‘Trip to Mussoorie and Landour’. as well).

Solo Visit to Stoners’ Paradise- Kasol

By Nida Ansari

I decided to plan a solo trip to Kasol and Tosh. As this was my first solo trip, there was a hesitation. But then after some homework, I found out a Travel consultant, who was taking a group of 20-25 people to the same place, so I finally decided to give it a shot & finally booked my trip. It was the Christmas weekend last year & the winters were quite nippy. For Kasol, if you are opting for public conveyance,

Manikaran Sahib, Kullu – A short visit

By Nandan Jha

As heat in Delhi became unbearable, as we gave up on staying alive in the huge bar-be-que that seemed to follow us wherever one would go, and finally as our frustration psyched us out since we could not find an appropriate, worthy, exciting place for our holiday – along came Kasol. To make the deal more lucrative, it came across that Gurudwara Manikaran Saheb was close-by, hence a visit was warranted.

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.

The best of KASOL and TOSH in winters

By Anchal Sarraf

Hill top of tosh was completely covered with snow, we took some pics and then we started looking for hotels to stay, there were many hotels like: pink floyd, hill top, blue diamond. We checked facilities and rates in each and finally we choose blue diamond to stay. There we got a big room with 5 beds which was sufficient for 6 people, we were all wet, as it was raining when we were trekking to hill top of tosh, so we decided to play in snow and then change. We locked our room and went down to play in snow, we were literally freezing in that temperature, and it was around -2 degree celcius at that time.

पार्वती घाटी (कुल्लू) में एकल (solo) घुमक्कड़ी — तोष, कसोल और छलाल

By MUNESH MISHRA

कसोल से लगभग दो किलोमीटर दूर छलाल गांव तक इस पुल को पार करने के बाद केवल पैदल ही जाया जा सकता है. छलाल गांव में जाने वाला रास्ता पार्वती नदी के किनारे है. रास्ते के एक ओर पार्वती नदी के जल का मधुर स्वर पूरे रास्ते आपके कानों से टकराता रहता है. और दूसरी ओर ऊँचे पर्वत इस मार्ग को मनोहारी बना देते है. देवदार के घने वृक्षों से होकर छलाल गांव तक की पदयात्रा का अनुभव अपने आप में अनूठा है.
छलाल गांव में पहुँचने पर शाम हो चुकी थी. रात्रि विश्राम के लिए छलाल में रूककर अगले दिन आगे की यात्रा का निर्णय लिया.

पार्वती घाटी (कुल्लू) में एकल (solo) घुमक्कड़ी — खीर गंगा से वापसी

By MUNESH MISHRA

नकथान में ग्रामवासियों को दैनिक जीवन के क्रिया कलापों को करते देखा जा सकता है. अपने आस-पास उपलब्ध दैनिक जीवन के सीमित सुविधा, संसाधनों से संतुष्ट यहाँ के लोग जीवन को वास्तविक रूप में जीते हैं. झरनों का बहता स्वच्छ-शुद्ध जल, पहाड़ों से होकर आती शीतल सुगन्धित वायु, पहाड़ों के बीच बहती पार्वती नदी, छोटे-छोटे खेत और बागों में उगने वाले फल, सब्जी और अन्न और साथ में रहने वाले सहयोगी पशु. जीवन को वास्तविक रूप में जीने के लिए बस इतना ही चाहिए इसके अतिरिक्त बाकी सब जीवन को और अधिक सुविधा-संपन्न बनाने की कभी न ख़त्म होने वाली लालसा ही है.
