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 - IV (Panaar - Rudarnath - Panchganga)

It was around 5.30 AM when we were awake and still it was very cold and we were not in mood to come out from our Beds. Finally around 6.00 AM we came downstairs. The landscapes were mind blowing which we could not see day before as it was dark by the time we reached Pannar.

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”.

When I got to know that some of my Ghumakkar friends are planning to trek Kapeshwar – Rudarnath & the route they have chosen was not the common route but it was actually a  difficult trek so I thought of not letting this opportunity go.

Binsar Farms – Dreams to Reality

India used to be mainly called agriculture oriented country but in this modern era everyone is moving away from their roots and adopting urbanization. But there are a few who believe that technology can be blended with our traditional practices to increase the productivity .

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.
