Roatrip to Kaza in Spiti valley

Upendra SwamiAugust 19, 2013 2254 Views4

 Kaza in Spiti valley is one of those places in the Himalayan India which bikers yearn for, besides the all-famous Manali-Leh route. But unlike the Leh-Manali route in Lahaul valley, the Spiti valley remains open for almost all the year round. Although winters might be severely cold there, but coming two months could be the ideal time to go there. It is not as challenging as the Leh route because there are no high mountain passes to cross, but the route, the terrain and the topography is something which you will not find anywhere else. Kaza is in spiti valley and one has to pass through Kinnaur valley before entering into Spiti.  Trip to Kaza normally starts from Shimla, capital city of Himachal Pradesh. Biking in these roads is alwaya a fun... See it for yourself! Going from Cha...

Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra finally cancelled

Upendra SwamiAugust 17, 2013 3996 Views12

The Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, which takes place in Uttarakhand state of Himalayan India, once in 12 years and was scheduled for August 29 this year, has been finally cancelled. Since roads and bridges along the yatra path were damaged in the floods in June, and were unsafe to use. It is considered to be one of the longest religious processions in the world. Strangely just twenty days back it was decided that Yatra won’t be postponed. On 26th July it was said that it would be a low-profile event but will happen on schedule. But it seems that after long deliberations with the government and within the community, it was decided that cancelling the Yatra is best possible option in the current scenario. In few days, a new schedule for the Yatra shall be announced. In the meantime, on 26t...

नंदा देवी राजजात यात्रा स्थगित

Upendra SwamiAugust 17, 2013 1898 Views0

एशिया की सबसे लंबी पैदल राजजात यात्रा को आखिरकार रद्द ही कर दिया गया। दैवीय आपदा के बाद उपजे हालात को देखते हुए 29 अगस्त से शुरू होने वाली राजजात यात्रा अंततः स्थगित कर दी गई। कुछ ही दिनों के अंतराल में राजजात यात्रा का नया कार्यक्रम घोषित कर दिया जाएगा। फिलहाल यह तय किया गया है कि 26 अगस्त को उन सभी स्थानों पर विशेष पूजा की जाएगी, जहां से राजजात में छंतोलियां यानि देवी के छत्र शामिल होने के लिए आते हैं। उत्तराखंड में आई विनाशकारी प्राकृतिक आपदा, सरकार के अनुरोध और अपने परंपरागत अधिकारों व उत्तरदायित्वों का प्रयोग करते हुए नंदा देवी राजजात समिति ने यात्रा स्थगित की है।  12 साल में एक बार होने वाली राजजात यात्रा 2013 इसी महीने की 29 तारीख को चमोली जिले के नौटी गांव से शुरू होनी थी, लेकिन आपदा के कारण यात्रा मार्ग बर्बाद होने तथा अन्य समस्याओं की वजह से यात्रा को लेकर संशय बना हुआ था।...

Upendra SwamiAugust 17, 2013 1333 Views0

Planning a trip to Kerala in south India? If you go on the internet, you will no longer have to use a mouse or keyboard to browse a section of the of Kerala Tourism website - you can instead gesture!

This is one of few tourism websites anywhere in the world to use gesture-controlled technology for navigation. Visually stunning images of the monsoon shot by Facebook fans of Kerala Tourism are used in the new website, developed by Stark Communications, the officia...

टॉप टेन में घूमर

Upendra SwamiAugust 13, 2013 1626 Views0

राजस्थान के पारंपरिक व सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय नृत्य घूमर को विश्व के सर्वोत्कृष्ट 10 स्थानों में से चौथा स्थान मिला है। एक इंटरनेशनल ऑनलाइन ट्रैवल पोर्टल ने दुनिया के सभी नृत्यों को विभिन्न मानदंडों पर परखते हुए ‘‘घूमर‘‘ को चौथा स्थान दिया है। इस कड़ी में यह भारत का एकमात्र नृत्य है। पहले स्थान पर हवाई, दूसरे स्थान पर जापान का बोन ओडोरी और तीसरे स्थान पर आयरलैंड का नृत्य रहा है। ‘‘घूमर‘‘ राजस्थान की पारंपरिक नृत्यशैली है जिसमें विभिन्न मांगलिक व खुशी के अवसरों पर महिलाएं श्रृंगारिक नृत्य करती है। मुगलकालीन युग में औरतें पुरुषों से पर्दा करती थीं, लिहाजा यह नृत्य मुंह ढककर होता था। अब तब कमोबेश उसी तरह नृत्य करने की परंपरा चली आ रही है। राजमहलों, सामंतों, राजपूतों के घरों में विशेष रूप से किया जाने वाला यह नृत्य राजपूतों की महिलाओं की अन्य सूबों में शादियों के साथ अनेक स्थानों पर विभिन्न र...

Upendra SwamiAugust 13, 2013 1439 Views0

केरल का मानसून गोवा की ही तरह खास है। हरा-भरा, हर तरफ हरियाली, पानी और मस्ती। इसीलिए यहां नदियों व पानी के सबसे ज्यादा उत्सव इन्ही दिनों में हुआ करते हैं। केरल की सबसे लोकप्रिय बोट रेस प्रतिस्पर्धाएं मानसून में ही होती हैं, जिन्हें देखने के लिए दुनियाभर से सैलानी जुटते हैं। एक झलक केरल में इन दिनों होने वाले आयोजनों पर- नेहरू ट्रॉफी बोट रेस: अल्लपुझा के बैकवाटर्स में स्थित पुन्नमडा झील में होने वाली यह बोट रेस सबसे प्रसिद्ध है। हर साल अगस्त महीने के दूसरे शनिवार को होने वाली इस रेस का इस साल आयोजन 10 अगस्त को हुआ है। इस आयोजन में चुंदन वेलोम (स्नेक बोट) की पारंपरिक दौड़ के अलावा पानी पर झांकियां भी होती हैं। इस दौड़ को देखना अपने आप में दुर्लभ अनुभव है। पय्यपड़ बोट रेस: अल्लपुझा में ही पय्यपड़ नदी में एक अन्य बोट रेस हुआ करती है। नेहरू ट्रॉफी बोट रेस के बाद स्नेक बोट की सबसे बड़ी रेस ...

Dudhwa sans Tigers

Upendra SwamiAugust 9, 2013 1434 Views0

Dudhwa Tiger reserve is one of those tiger reserves in India which are loved by conservationists. What else to prove that Dudhwa is known for one of the most popular names associated with tigers in India- Billy Arjan Singh. Dudhwa, not as glamorous as Bandhavgarh or Ranthambore or Corbett, but is a beautiful forest. Don't go there with a single point ambition of seeing a tiger, and you will enjoy much more what the jungle has to offer. Dudhwa is located in Kheri district of Uttar pradesh in the terrain bordering Nepal. Travel to Lucknow or Shahjahanpur via train and then go towards Palia by road. Dudhwa main gate is another twelve kilometres from Palia. Dudhwa is the only place in India where you can see one-horned rhinoceres in wild besides the Kaziranga in Assma, which ofcourse is...
