The Path : Ramnagar to Nainital

When you are fond of something, then it doesn't matters where you are what you are doing, all you think about is to go for that thing. If this is not the case with you, try it once and you'll never be in low spirits.

So this is the path which I covered when "I was on a training" in Ramnagar, a village in district of Nainital, Uttrakhand. This town is very calm and friendly, also the population is very less and you will find a stretch between clusters of houses. I felt that this is the town which is at the footsteps of the Mighty Himalayan Range, as I could not see any huge mountain nearby but when we started the journey and as we ascended I could clearly see a vast never ending sight of plains behind me, and in front, the towering mountains . The point where I could see The Plains, The cloud covered Mountains and the road moving into boundless mountains, left me speechless.

Where the plains and mountain meet.

The snaky road moving into the mountains. 

The road moves along the forest of Jim Corbett National Park, and the weather was very placid, clouds were shimmering, there was patchy drizzle and the spellbind natural beauty made an indelible impression on me.

Drizzling

Try to find the river.

Mountains, Clouds, Sea, Trees and A River.


The people living on those mountains are literally "living above the clouds". It gets foggy within seconds and crystal clear sooner than that.


Living above the clouds

Living above the clouds

Its foggy

Walking in Clouds
Foggy really Foggy

There is a waterfall on the way to Nainital, its very refreshing. The cold water flowing down your feet making a stir sensation and the bubbling sound touching your soul helps you forget every problem and just enjoy the moment.


Refreshing

"Waterfall"
Just Imagine if The Path is such a beauty, what secrets The Destination would be holding. To sum-up few of my most favorite clicks:

The Path : Ahemdabad to Bangalore (By Air)

Whenever one travels he encounters many astonishing things while on the path of his journey which becomes memories for life, it is well said :-
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” 
― Ernest Hemingway 
Here are some of those mesmerizing experiences and the stunning things which I came across while I was travelling to Bangalore from Ahmadabad, for frequent flyers its not a new experience or a new picture, BUT for those who haven't been on a flight at all or those who have not been on a flight during day, this would be scenic.

Starting with take off, we all know how it feels when the engine roars, and the gigantic machine starts to sprint, well for those who don't... Its like you are sitting next to Vin Diesel and he just pushed the NOx and whoosh!!

The Shaddow

When you are in the air its amazing how fast "the things on earth" starts diminishing.

You brush past the clouds
Tall buildings looks like "Lego toys"
The mighty mountains looks as if they are clay models









Rivers seems like a small water stream in which kids play with their paper boats.



The Landing is all the same its just the "things on earth" again come to their original shape and size, and yeah Vin Diesel just applied a sudden break, after getting a nudge from another vehicle.





This was the experience, now let me tell you the scenic part: there is a whole new world out there than we know it, "The sky" is all new "sky" when you are "in the sky".


A "sea of cloud", with waves of different shapes and sizes.






Apart form this "sea of clouds" you will encounter a variety of colors and combine it with "The Clouds" and "The Sun" and you will be awestruck-ed.

The Destination : Bhilwara

Bhilwara also known as the "Textile City", is located 25°.00' to 27°.50' North Latitude and 74°.03' to 75°.25' East longitude, It has an average elevation of 421 meters (1381 feet). Bhilwara is an industrial town and is famous country wide for the textile industries. It is well connected with roads & rail. As it is my home-town, I find this city a very calm and peaceful city. There are no particular tourist attractions in here but places nearby are very interesting and a hub of tourists round the globe. Still few places in Bhilwara are worth checking : 

1. Menal water fall:

The place, situated at a distance of 71 Kms. towards South-East of Bhilwara. I would rate this as the first place to visit while planning to visit Bhilwara or even while brushing past it (Do remember to make such plan during rainy season)

Menal waterfall

2. Harni Mahadev: 


A Shivling lies under the mountain, built into a Shiva temple is 8 km from the city. Its a nice place for people from the city for outing as it has hills around. On the occasion of Shiv-Ratri a three-day fair is held here. Near this Chamunda mata Mandir is a hill from where one can have a view of whole city. Dadi dham temple is also there on the way.

3. Meja Dam:

Not a tourist place or a very big dam, just for you and solitude, this place becomes a flooded picnic spot when the dam is roaring with water.

Other attractions situated on the beautiful hills of the Aravali mountain range which I haven't visited yet but are well known for their beauty and closeness to nature and God are :

  • Patola Mahadev Temple,
  • Ghata Rani Temple, 
  • Beeda ke Mataji Temple
