Dominar....


Trying to pose a bit. Grabbed a chance to drive through Rishikesh on one of the dream bikes of mine.
It was a lovely experience driving through the valley.

Name It...


Aahhhaaa... The best group I've ever had on a trip with. The precious moments that we had together, rafting, camping etc. will be cherished for life. Searching for a good name for my group. If you have something in your mind, please do comment.

Hotel View


I had the opportunity to stay at one of the best hotels in Dhanaulti which had an awesome view from the balcony. Sipping coffee prepared by my friend and watching the sun slowly coming out from behind the mountains was overwhelming.

Sunset At Dhanaulti


One of the most satisfying views, I've ever preferred is the sunset. the sun seems to bid goodbye for another day to witness in your life. Unlikely every day, sunset at destination places seem more beautiful and soothing...

Streamline


Getting into these streams make me nostalgic and throw me back to those days of childhood when I used to go for swimming with my friends at a nearby water body at my Grandparents place. We usually spent hours playing there. These streams are so clear that you can spot the surface beneath.

Photography Challenge


Well I'm not a photographer but sometimes I do click some snaps which make me think that I should try myself in this field but then I remember I dont't own a dslr or a good phone. This click was made at the stream where we had the stone challenge.

The Stone Challenge


One of the best challenges we used to do as teenagers. Throwing stones in the river to count whose stone would jump the most number of times. We were lucky to have a stream just besides our camp where we rejoiced our childhood.

The Road Not Taken


The Road Not Taken.....
People say it the least used road that is clean but have a look to this road which led me to my camp. Is it untravelled? The path shows that many people have travelled this path to experience the best camping and bonfire nights of their life. 
So still  being at home. Just book your tickets and rush to rishikesh and experience a whole new level of entertainment.

Morning at Rishikesh


Wooohhhoooo.... Opened my eyes after the late night camping in Rishikesh to one of the best mornings in my life. No pollution, no honking of cars, no shouting of people. Only, birds chirping and people with a smile on their face.

Camping



Traveling is one of the most fascinating hobby in one’s life. Just think of waking up in the Himalayas, pure Ganga flowing alongside and different people laughing and enjoying themselves to their fullest around a bonfire outside their camps. Rishikesh is known to be a hub for camping and bonfire as it hosts the best adventure activities. I had a chance to visit Rishikesh with my seniors and mates last year to witness one of the best experience of my life.

'Petrified Dhanaulti'


Dhanaulti is a beautiful hill station near Mussoorie. It's just 24 km from Mussoorie. If you go from Chamba, it's 31 km from there.

About:

Dhanaulti is a very beautiful place to visit. The valleys, the trees, people, roads, everything is very beautiful and heart winning. You can enjoy the breeze in the morning with a tea or coffee. Everything is awesome but when it comes to dark, Dhanaulti could be as frightening as you could think of and that's why I call it "Petrified Dhanaulti". 

You might have been to many frightening places in your life and would have witnessed many scary nights but this place is something very different. Somewhat you would have never thought about. The most frightening night I've ever spent in my life. Dhanaulti is a place where you need to throw your soul amidst the wind. The sound that the winds make is literally petrifying. It seems like the trees are fighting and screaming at each other. The paths are so silent that even the strongest soul would fear to walk alone. The people over there aren't seen outside their house after 9 o'clock and that's what it makes the place really frightening.
