I was so excited when I got a call from the PR team handling J&K Tourism. I immediately agreed to go on the trip, I took three days leave as well. For me leaves are really truly precious because I work full time. Anyway, talking about leaves is not too engaging, so back to the…

Rafting at Nakhon Nayok, Thailand
One of the fun things we did in Thailand was rafting at Nakhon Nayok. I have been on rafting trips before in India so I knew what to expect. There is a dam on the Nahon Nayok River which was the idea of the current King of Thailand known as Rama IX. The King of…
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…
Rafting and Religion at Rishikesh
They say there are two reasons why people visit Rishikesh- rafting and religion. I managed to get both in one frame. This was clicked after we completed our rafting near Ram Jhula. I have to admit I have been keen on rafting. This time I was told by my raft expert Amit that the rapids…

The Food Truck at Shivpuri, Uttarakhand
We finished rafting at Shivpuri, even though the original plan was to end up at Rishikesh. But we got delayed an that is a story worth telling but a bit later. As we had to catch up the Shatabdi Express later in the evening from Haridwar our luggage and lunch was waiting for us at…
The Ganges at Devprayag
I have more than once traveled from Rishikesh to Joshimath and beyond. And I would always marvel at the river going along the road. So here I was again looking out from a window of a bus and clicking pictures. We were traveling from Kaudiala to Devprayag, the distance between the two is 30 kilometers. And…
