The lesser known attractions of Dausa (Part-1) --- Harshat Mata - Goddess of joy
Everyone looks forward to play Holi as they find this colourful festival quite exciting but I generally try to avoid the festival as it does not excite me and I am allergic to colours also. This time there was a long break during this “Holi”so my passion of ghummakri (Traveling ) was aroused in me.
So my great Ghumakkar (Traveller) friend Amit and I planned to visit some of the less explored places of Rajasthan. After a lot of brainstorming we decided to visit beautiful & well maintained Chand Baori – Abhaneri, ruined Dausa fort, Lohagarh fort – Bahartpur & deeg fort & deeg Palace.

When Adventure met Faith Part - V (Rudarnath/ Panchganga to Ansuiya / Mandal )
Today we had to start as soon as possible as we had to cover almost 18
kms till Mandal via Ansuya temple. Today’s punch line was “Utha kamandal pahunch Mandal” .
We got up at 5.30 AM and planned to have our breakfast at Hansa bugyal which is around 06 kms from Panchganga.
We started our journey around 07.00 AM. First one km is steep high till Naula Pass which is situated at a height of 3760 mtrs
above the sea level. There is a small temple with small bells and colourful flags . From here one can see
the beautiful peaks of Himalayas and this is the best place to click pictures .

When Adventure met Faith Part -III (Dumak - Toli Tal - Panaar Bugyal)
We had a sound sleep as we were damn tired so next day we got up little
late around 6.00 AM . As I came out of my room I was awestruck by the beauty of
village which we could not see it in the darkness last night. I stood there
only for a while to soothe my eyes with the beauty of nature unfortunately
which we have ruined in plains in the name of urbanization.

When Adventure met Faith Part -II ( Helang - Kalpeshwar - Dumak)
Next Day morning we got up around 5.00 AM and got ready by 6.00 AM. We
all wanted to start as soon as possible as we were behind the schedule we
planned. We had to cover the distance which we were supposed to cover the
previous day along with that day’s plan. Today was going to be a tough day as we have
to trek 20 kms in which 12-13 kms will be steep. Today’s final destination was
Dumak & our inspirational punch line was “ Thumak Thumak ke chale Dumak”.

Mehrauli Archaeological Park – Where Stones Speak
Heritage
walks always give you an opportunity to explore more about your own city. You
get to know about those less explored and less visited places. And if the walk
is under the guidance of some famous historian then it becomes really exciting
as experts have all those minute details and an eye which I believe a guide cannot
provide.
