Bharat Darsan - Haridwar & Risihkesh Visit - Part -1






Most of May 2011, i have lived out of suitcase. The journey started on 6th May and ended on 21st May. Journey started from Delhi-Haridwar-Rishikesh-Delhi-Ahmdabad-Surat-Baroda-Rajkot-Ahmdabad-Indore-Bhopal-Hausangabad-Sagar-Berasiya-Barily-Raisen-Beena-Videsha-Bhopal-New Delhi.

Haridwar

This was a very special vacation for entire family since we all went to Haridwar for Mundan of my son(Vihaan). Some of the memorial-able moments are Mundan Ceremony, Evening Aarti of Ganga and Temples visit.

"Haridwar"-The city still hold spiritual in every bit. Specially when you walk around the Ganga it feels like you are living some special moment of your life. The water of Ganga is so chilled that, if you dip your feet after a long tiring day immediate relief is guaranteed. The winds are so fresh and refreshing that you don't require Air-condition.

Around and inside the city there are many temple located Mansa Devi & Maya Devi. From these temples you can have bird view of city. The "Udaan Khatola" cable car ride was memorial one. Gud fun.

After roaming in and ard Haridwar, we proceeded for Rishikesh and this time intentionally we opted for auto ricksaw to enjoy the 1.5 hr ride to Risihkesh. There is nothing much we explored in Rishikesh apart from Laxam Jula & Ram Jula. I felt the journey was not so fruitful even others have the same view also, the only unique thing which i remember abt the place is "Chotiwale ka restaurant". At entrance of restaurant there were two gentlemen seating with fully dressed up as per the name of restaurant.

The journey via Dehradun Shatabdi was comfortable as compare to return journey via Jan Shatabdi.

This is all about my experience in Haridwar & Rishikesh
