If anyone ever asked me which posts I like to do most, the answer would be a post with a lot of pictures and very little text! It will be a post like this one, about Haridwar pictures. Even though I do not wear bangles, but I know they will make for a colorful picture!…

Hotel Alpana near Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar
I saw my name at placard at the Haridwar Railway Station. I smiled at the young man holding it and we walked out. I was looking for a car to take us to the hotel! We actually got into a rickshaw instead. That baffled me a but. But I soon realized why it was prudent….

Country Inns and Suites Haridwar
I am told the hotel has changed hands and no longer is called Country Inns and Suites but I have such good memories of it that I am leaving the post as it is with this disclaimer. I recently stayed at the Country Inns and Suites Haridwar for one night. When we arrived at the…

Screen Full of Stuff!
Even before I started reading about anything related to photography I liked to fill my screen with stuff. For me it always makes for a good picture. Both the pictures featuring today are from Haridwar. We were walking back to our bus after rafting when we crossed many street side stalls. I have always been…

Done for the Day!
Did it ever occurred to you that what happened to the rafts after we were done for the day? The first time I went rafting I was so hungry after it that all my attention was concentrated on food and chatting. Not so this time. I was still awake and curious about my surroundings. So I noticed this…
Valley of Flowers and Hemkunt Sahib Trek, Uttarakhand, India
This is the first summer when I have trekked twice and I think I am going to make it a habit. In this post I am collating all my Valley of Flowers and Hemkunt Sahib Trek links and also sharing a few more pictures. Traveling to Rishikesh and Joshimath (Day 1 &2 of the trip)…
The Journey to Joshimath via Haridwari and Rishikesh- The Start of the VOF and Hemkunt Trek
I recently trekked through Valley of Flowers (VOF) and Hemkunt Sahib in Uttarakhand. But the story begins with my trying to reach Joshimath, my initial halt at Uttarakhand before the trek. I started at 7.00 am for ISBT Kashmiri Gate Bus Station at New Delhi. Reached there in good time too, only to be told…

GMVN Rajaji National Park, Haridwar, India
I usually do not associate government accommodations and cleanliness together but GMVN Rajaji National Park was a clean place. Our huts were right inside the forest and it was a serene atmosphere unless the tourists themselves started blaring music. There was a group of tourists who did just that but thankfully they stayed only for…

Rajaji National Park, Haridwar, India
Rajaji National Park is situated quite close to the city of holy city of Haridwar in India. Ganga Canal is a short walk away from the only accommodation available inside the park. The accommodation is run by a government body and though it is very basic it is okay. Rajaji National Park is an excellent…
