Why I Love Traveling So Much???

I was not pretty sure about my last trip to Haridwar/Rishikesh. Though I was planning it, some problems occurred and I decided to keep the trip to the next year. But at final moments, I just packed my bags and moved on to Haridwar with aim to pay homage to Deity Shiva and enjoy the splendid scenery that abounds the region. Haridwar hosts famous ‘Kanwar Mela’ every Shrawan month, where millions of Shiva devotes flock to dip into holy Ganga River. A lot among them come to bring Kanwar – a bamboo structure with pots containing pristine Ganga water, while many visit here to uncover pleasing natural beauty and amazing flora & fauna. Haridwar is about six-hour drive from capital city New Delhi, connected via smooth roads where driving is like a treat. The holy city welcomed us with refreshing morning breeze and a trifle downpour of rain. Take your eyes up, and you see enchanting tropical greenery and mist-covered mountains all around, while sound and smell of shimmering stre...

The highest point here is only about 7 feet; agriculture is virtually impossible and the political situation is a bit aflutter (not always): the smallest Asian nation Maldives still draws tourists in hordes, who visit here to explore its magnetic beaches, stunning coral reefs and enchanting marine life. Maldives, an Islamic Asian nation, is an archipelago in Indian Ocean combining 1,192 coral atolls of which above 200 are inhabited. The economy of the nation is heavily dependent on tourism. Owing to its wonderful topography, the Maldives feature a humid but pleasing weather all though a year. The heat is abided by the Indian Ocean quickly and the cool sea breeze is ejected in rotation, which keeps the temperature pleasant ranging between 25 and 33 degree Celsius. The monsoon remains active from June through August, when the entire archipelago turns tropical green with amazing flora & fauna all around.  Since agriculture is not possible here, the country has to import almo...

I have been here for last four years, and now I love it. A city of many dreams, Delhi invited me as a career aspirant. I studied here and now working on to spice up my career. I have been a kind of observer who examines places and compare them with the ones I’ve previously dealt with. If I recall what I observed here, I find Delhi a multi-facet metropolis with protocols of its own. It has some brilliant things, some not-so-good and some too ugly to survive with. But it’s a place that never lets you to be bored, because even surviving here is quite exciting. Here’re what I find to be the good, the bad and the worst in Delhi. The Good   The culture: Even though I was not used to such sort of culture (liberal and open-minded people), I began to love Delhi since my first day here. No one cares for what others are doing. So you’re free to do whatever you want to do (aisi Azaadi aur kaha). There are enormous opportunities to brush up your skills in any of fields. Delhi has a p...

Even though I’m a real Indian macrocosm fanatic, the one destination I have never been to is ‘Andaman Islands’, in spite of the fact that I’ve planned many times. But a month ago, I, with two of my friends, flocked to this estimable natural soil, and very soon after wandering around its gleaming shorelines, virgin forests and gorgeous tracts, I realized how much I missed exploring natural bounties being in so close to that. In recent years, Andaman has emerged as one of the hottest spots for travelers, especially those with a sense of nature and adventure. A large group of nearly 600 small islands, this archipelago is located in the Bay of Bengal. Politically it has been a part of India, though Myanmar and Thailand are close to it more than the Indian mainland. The Island was badly hit by Ocean earthquake and Tsunami of 2004, and was almost destructed at its shores. However, most of the tourist attractions, excepting the Little India and Mahatma Gandhi National Park...

Since I moved to Delhi from my home-town Bhiwani, it’s not so far away—just 120km, I was dying to go on an adventure tour to Rishikesh. I had been to this gracious city before, but it was for religious sightseeing and not for the ones I am always passionate about – fun, adventures and doing daring tasks. I’m a kind of adventure-enthusiast and love to try new things. I usually dream fresh air hitting my face, rough waves crusading with my torso and rugged terrains challenging me to cross over. But due to any reason, I have been alienated to these enthrallments. This time we all decided to do some serious planning, and one fine day we (a group of five peers) were off to Rishikesh.  Everyone was excited and was with a unique sense of happiness mixed with a bit fear of the risks involved. Whatever it was, we were enjoying and enjoying it to the fullest.  We drove there in Maruti Astar owned by one of my friends. The distance from Delhi to Rishikesh is about 225km, and it ta...
