Amritsar - The Golden Temple and more....

 Amritsar


I have been to Amrtisar multiple times, but this is the first time when I explored the city beyond Golden Temple and Wagah Border. I stayed there overnight to have a view of the Golden Temple in the night with lights all over and the temple bright and shining and then the next day in the sunlight where it looks very beautiful and natural. 


We explored a different itinerary this time but the key highlight continued to be Golden temple. Just 25 Kms before Amritsar is another Gurudwara which has the largest sarovar than any other gurudwara - Tarn Taran Gurudwara. 




Other things that we did are: 
Taran Taran Gurdwara 
Durgyana Mandir 
Gobindgarh Fort 
Partitian Museum










Gobindgarh Fort
 











Partition Museum - This is a nice place as it gives a European feal. The surroundings have been nicely done with lot of places to take pictures and eateries are all around. The famous Brother Dhaba is also nearby.

The Golden city of Jaisalmer, Sand Dunes, the blue city Jodhpur, and much more

Jaisalmer - Thar Desert: Sam Sand Dunes and beyond  The much awaited trip after Rann of Kutchch was the Sam Sand Dunes. It came as a surprise as it was a last-minute plan and we could not get confirmed train tickets and flight prices were sky rocketing already. Since we had made up our mind, I decided to drive down all the way to Jaisalmer. Now the next challenge was that it was a long journey and could not be completed in a day. Hence, I decided to break it up and cover few more cities in Rajasthan.  The final route map looked like the one below:  Jaipur < Ajmer < Pushkar < Jodhpur < Jaisalmer < Sam Sand Dunes < Longewala border < Bikaner < Back to Home  Jaipur - Bhangarh Fort, Hawa Mahal and a Movie in Raj Mandir  Bhangarh Fort is 30 Kms before Jaipur and need to take a detor. It is closer to Alwar / Siriska.  Up next, we moved to Jaipur. Since we had already visited Jaipur last year, we wanted to see a movie in the cinema.  W...

Mumbai - city that never sleeps!!!

 Mumbai - the city of dreams When someone talks about Mumbai, the first thing that comes to mind is the Gateway of India. We are no different and decided to go to the Gateway of India and the famous Taj Hotel to click some pictures. The idea was to go in the evening to see some lighting, and the temp would be a few degrees cooler than the day.    The Famous Taj hotel looks much more picturesque than the Gateway of India. It is the same place where terrorist attack took place a couple of years back.  Colaba Causeway is a nice place for shopping as well as home to some of the oldest cafes in the city.  These are two popular cafes in the area. I personally preferred Cafe Mondegar due to aircon and better sitting. The food quality was equally good in both the cafes. Leopold cafe has their own merchandise like mugs, t-shirts which is a delight to see and tells about the popularity of the cafe.   Cafe Mondegar has its own cutlery which is a delight to see. T...

Mahakumbh 2025!!!

Mahakumbh 2025!!!   We kept walking where the crowd was walking and then came across the first dwar.  Bade Hanuman Ji Temple  There was huge rush and it would take at least 3 - 4 hours to get the darshan of Hanuman ji. We decided to see it on the LED Screen kept outside as we had our luggage also and did not have the time and patience it needed to get the darshan.  Digital Mahakumbh Experience Center  This is a must watch place when in Mahakumbh.  We came to railway station a couple of hours earlier as the traffic was diverted and we did not know how much we need to walk since even the people of foot had to walk in a particular direction and take longer route to avoid over-crowding.  The picture is of the rail yatra nivas built just outside the railway station. One can rest here as it was neat and clean and there were charging points as well. I had a cup of tea before boarding the Prayagraj express to Delhi.  We came back home with happy memories ...
