In Tourist Destinations Revisited-The Himalayas

Mussoorie and Auli-quickly grab a backpack and rush!!!-Don’t miss out…

No Comments

Mussoorie -you must have all heard about it -yeah, that’s a natural fantastic summer retreat and cool even in winters. It’s an all-time hill station with an excellent panoramic view. Auli-I can’t explain in words the adventure and beauty it encompasses. In April, you’ll be able to trek as far as you can-so. So start early and get your boots working through the snow to see endless Himalayan beauty and snow-capped mountains-plus a ropeway bonanza worth it-not to forget winter months brings their own set of ice and snow sports!

Reasons why you must visit Mussoorie and Auli:

  • Skiing and Auli go in rhyme with one another. Winters arrive, and you must be in Auli to do snow sports, skiing or snowboarding.
  • Auli is also famous for religious attractions such as Pandukeshwar, Badrinath, Gopeshwar and peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Sanjeevani, for which trekking does happen.
  • At Auli, you can’t miss a trek to Kuari Pass /Kwani Bugyal/Gorson Bugyal, which offers breathtaking views throughout the trek ranges.
  • Not to forget, you get a scenic ropeway ride at 900 INR both ways per head. It’s one of the most beautiful scenic ropeway-so don’t miss out!!

  • Gun hill offers a magnificent view of Doon valley from Mussoorie, which you can reach by a mini ropeway ride; even a trail is possible. The night and evening views are lit!
  • Dhanaulti and Kempty falls are two famous spots you must make an effort to visit. Dhanaulti offers some splendid views of the lower Himalayas amidst Deodar forests.

  • Mussoorie does have a paragliding facility similar to Bir-Billing in Himachal Pradesh. Do check out if you are an adventure junkie!
  • Cloud End viewpoint gives a heavenly feel of the Himalayas amidst clouds in the wee hours of early morning. Casually walk to the viewpoint and let the view sink you in!
  • Nag Tibba and Har ki dun are some famous treks which you can begin from Mussoorie.

Location: Mussoorie is just an hour from Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand state of India, whereas Auli is a long road 300 km haul from Dehradun which takes about a day considering there’s no direct public transport and you need to break your journey!

An important note from my experience:

1)Mussoorie and Auli is a year-round destination for tourists except for the June to September corridor, where it rains heavily, and landslides are pretty standard then. So we need to avoid the rains.

2)Auli and Mussoorie both have ropeways, but Auli is a must, whereas Mussoorie is optional-if you can climb upto Gun hill. You’re sorted. The view from Auli ropeway is damn charming-you see snow-capped mountains all over!

3)Mussoorie has several viewpoints- be here at dusk and dawn, and you’ll know the worth of viewpoints, to be honest! The Shivaliks are worth a watch from Mussoorie, plus round-the-year cool weather.

4)Auli is an excellent place to be mainly in winters-you get to skip, do some skateboarding and play all sorts of winter sports here on the lakeside plus, playing with snow is a great way to enjoy in winters! Don’t miss that!

5)Auli is an excellent point to trek to Gorson Bugyal and other minor points from where you get 360 views of Panchchula peaks with gushing cold winds on your face on a sunny afternoon! I am not writing a fiction story- I experienced it- just sharing it with you guys- be here in April-May for that trek, though!

Maya Devi Temple,Lumbini
In The lovely Nepal destinations

Lumbini-The birth place of Buddha and origin of Buddhism-Must visit once in lifetime!

No Comments

Whoever knows Gautama Buddha and Buddhism will know Lumbini pretty well. It’s in Nepal and close to the Uttar Pradesh border in India and can be easily reached within 3 hours from the Sunauli border near Gorakhpur in India. Many monasteries are based on country-wise architecture, Buddha’s birthplace and the Bodhi tree. It roughly takes a day and will be a beautiful experience.

5 Big Reasons why you must visit Lumbini:

  • Lumbini Museum is a prime attraction which showcases metal sculptures, ancient coins, stamps, potteries, and manuscripts of the Maurya Empire and Kushan Empire. There’s an International Research Institute opposite the museum, where you can read books about Buddhism and Nepal’s history.

  • Many temples and monasteries showcase various Buddhist architecture and cultures in Lumbini. Some of them are Dae Sung Shakya Temple (Korean Temple), Thai Monastery, Great Lotus Stupa (German) Temple, Myanmar Golden Monastery, Thrangu Monastery (Canada), etc.
  • The Maya Devi Temple is the prime reason you will be here as a traveller! It takes us back to 563BC, when Queen Maya gave birth to Gautama. There’s Puskarini pond as well, where Gautama had his first bath. There’s a 6-m tall Ashoka Pillar and a Bodhi Tree at the same spot.
  • Chitwan National Park is nearby and known for the One-Horned Rhino. Do spare time if you have it in hand so that you can explore this beautiful park in Nepal.

  • The World Peace Pagoda is another marvel that shows various stages of Buddha’s life. It’s a great place to be in the early mornings or dusk, giving a great view of Lumbini far and wide.

Location: Lumbini is 120 km from Gorakhpur (India) via Sonauli and 200 km from Pokhara(Nepal)

Tourist Attraction on the Spot:

Tourist Attractions in the Vicinity:

Pokhara, Kathmandu, Muktinath, Tilaurakot, Gotihawa, Kudan, and Sagarhawaare some places you can visit from this place within the country of Nepal.

How to Reach Lumbini:

Road Routes:

Great Drirung Kagyud Lotus Stupa
Great Drirung Kagyud Lotus Stupa

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MY EXPERIENCE:

Winter is the best time to be here between September and March. However, summers are hot like the Indian plains, so better avoid that time.

2) If you are planning for summer, make sure you have an umbrella and use rickshaws with a hood to beat the heat. Have water with you at all times. Start early morning/late afternoons.

3)Monasteries and museums have their timings. Do check on the Lumbini government website. Usually, afternoons are better avoided for most monasteries as they are closed. However, late afternoon or early morning, say up to 11 am, is fine for seeing the interiors of a monastery.

4)It’s great to be dressed in courtesy as Lumbini is more of a religious place. Plus, we must follow a few rules like taking off shoes before entering the temple, avoiding photography, etc.

5)Hotels are in good numbers and pretty decent, but not value for money. Still, I feel Lumbini makes for a one-day visit, so it doesn’t cause much of a fuss.

6)There is this problem all over Nepal.Some will consider Nepalese currency and some Indian.In most cases they accept both.Please make sure to ask in which currency they need to be paid.Usually the higher price denotes Nepali rupee.(1 INR is 1.6 NPR)

RAIL: Unfortunately, no. You have a rail network in east Nepal, but not near Lumbini. Gorakhpur in India is the nearest one.

You can watch the below video to get a better idea!Do like and share if you find it worth…

AIR:Lucknow in India and Kathmandu/Pokhra are airports in vicinity

ROAD:The easiest way to be here is take a ride from Gorakhpur(India) to Sunauli and from Sunauli to Lumbini.From Nepal side,you’ll need to take a bus from Pokhara in most cases.

Time to Visit:

The best time to visit will be around late September to early March.

Spend Time With:

Family, friends, solo, couple, groups

Food and Lodging:

Hotels are available but in few numbers and with not so many facilities. So online booking isn’t required. Food options are plenty. So you need to find one and eat where hygiene and food are good. Try OYO rooms if you can find decent ones there.

Expense:

For a 1 day trip to Lumbini,following is the expense:

Royal Thai Monastery

Food:NPR 100/person/day(3 times a day)

Lodging:NPR 800/day at Lumbini
Entry Fees includes various places (varies):NPR 200(all in all max)

Nubra Valley-It all starts with snow rigged Khardungla and ends with a beautiful village Thang near Turtuk. Panamik has hot springs and beautiful Yarab Tso lake whereas,Diskit and Hunder have monastery and sand dunes to offer respectively. Isn’t it an ala-carte package where you get a bit of everything!

5 Reasons why you must visit Nubra Valley:

  • Siachen-have you heard of that?If not then let me tell you its world’s highest battlefield and temperatures dip below – 40 degrees Celsius.Yes.minus 40 degrees and that too throughout the year temperature is on negative side due to altitude.Siachen glacier becomes reachable when you go ahead of Panamik in Nubra Valley.If you have all the permits and fitness,you might give a shot to reach the base camp which ain’t easy anyway.Base camp you can reach by road as its open for tourism!
Hot Springs at Panamik

  • Panamik is gifted with a great hot water spring alongwith a calm yet pretty Yarab Tso lake where you can quietly spend your time with nature.A good experience sitting for an hour alone near the lake.
  • Samstanling Gompa on Panamik side and Diskit Maitreya Buddha (Gompa) on Turtuk side ,give a very good glimpse of Buddhism in Nubra Valley.The places are less crowded and good to spend time in peace.

  • Why forget Hunder?Seen a cold desert anytime in India?If not,be in Hunder and experience walking along a river on white sands all over Hunder region.Camp at night,gaze the stars and the milky way!
  • Hunder is also known for bactrian two humped camels which are unique to the demographics.Have a ride on them in the desert to make Hunder trip a complete and memorable one.

Location  : Nubra Valley falls to the north east of Leh about 200-250 kms away from city centre.The road forks into two near Khalsar,one towards Siachen through Panamik and the other one towards Thang through Diskit,Hunder and Turtuk.

How to Reach Panamik(From Leh):

Road Routes:

Leh-Khardung La- Khalsar – Sumur – Panamik – goes to Siachen…

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MY EXPERIENCE:

1)Don’t miss out the two humped bactrian camels in the cold desert of Hunder. It’s worth camping here for a day or two.

2)Have a leather wind proof jacket for Hunder and Turtuk because temperatures dip sharply at night time even in June/July.

3)Pre fill vehicle oil tanks as petrol pumps are less numbered.

4)Snacks and meals are scant outside leh.So have food and water with you.

5)You can combine shared cabs and buses easily for a 4 day trip and roads are pretty much okayish for 70-80 percent of the trip.So should do for most part!

6)Panamik side has less accommodation and food options than Turtuk side.Hence,visit Panamik in the day from Leh and stay at Diskit or Hunder for the same night.

7)Give a shot at Siachen base camp and some trekking if you are adventure junkie!

RAIL:Railways can be opted only upto either Jammu or Shimla after which be on roads night and day!

AIR:Leh is the closest airport for Nubra Valley.

ROAD:You first need to come to Leh either through Rohtang Pass(June onwards) from Manali side or from Srinagar side via Zozila Pass.Once you reach Leh,you can opt for shared cars or private buses (check for public transport on this website) to reach Nubra Valley.

In case you want to reach from Delhi or Chandigarh,the Shimla-Manali-Leh corridor shall be a better choice in terms of scenery and safety , which will take 3 days with a one day halt at Keylong to acclimatize.Even from Jammu side,it will take 3 days but acclimatize option can be left out pretty easily.

Want a weekend gateway to forest areas from Bengaluru? Look no further—Wayanad in Kerala and the adjacent district of Karnataka, that is, Coorg is waiting for you.

Reasons why you must visit Wayanad and Coorg:

  • Abbey falls, or Abbi Falls, about a km from Madikeri, is a must-visit waterfall in the Coorg district.
Hebbe Falls,Kodagu

  • There are some historical places in Madikeri which offer stunning views of valley from top at the same time like Nehru Mantap, Raja’s Seat.
Chembra Peak,Wayanad
Chembra Peak,Wayanad
  • Bylakuppe near Madikeri is known for its famous Namdroling Monastery with Tibetan influence. You’ll have the same feeling if you were in a monastery in Leh. Yes, I have visited both of these places!
  • Banasura Sagar dam across the Karamanathodu River on the foothills of Banasura hills is very scenic and lovely!
  • If you love walking around streams amidst forests and having a picnic, too, reach out to an island named Kuruva, which is in dense forest. You’ll get the feel of being very close to nature.
  • It would be best if you had trekking on your list.
  • Pakshipathalam, Kumara Parvatha, and Brahmagiri of the treks of many out there.

Pookode lake,Vyithri,Wayanad

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MY EXPERIENCE:

1) Wayanad and Coorg both are trekking hotspots. So spend some days just after the September-October monsoons to finish those treks -they are heavenly! Some of them are Pushpagiri, Tadiandamol, Pakshipathalam, Kumara Parvatha, Brahmagiri, and Chembra.

2)Have an umbrella at all times to protect yourself from scorching, humid heat or rain.

3)Some places like Edakkal caves and Kuruvadweep have public transport frequency issues. You will find buses every 2-3 hours and forget if it is a Sunday or holiday. So be careful if you are in a bit remote area, especially in Wayanad.

4)June-August and April-May are better avoided as it’s very humid during these months, and rains cause landslides and floods.

5)Ooty is an excellent lookout from Wayanad District via Sulthan Bathery and nearby. So you can plan accordingly.

6)Language will be a big issue in Wayanad, so try managing in English. Even English doesn’t help all the time! But you have to manage ;;;
