DESTINATION : Rishikesh





ऋषिकेश


Two days,12 People, 3 Cars, 6 Camps & 2 Raft!





For the 1st time in my life, I am actually following my new year resolution- a resolution to travel, go to new places, meet new people, & see the world through my camera lens!



And this time, it was Rishikesh - as they say "Rafting Capital of India"


After days of searching information on rafting information and several places to stay, we finally zeroed in for one...The plan was simple; we start from MDI at midnight and drive till Rishikesh.

Although the drive till our destination was quite tiring added with the sleepless night still with the first sight of the Ganga and our river side camp, everything else settled

Played in water, did some trekking, explored a virgin point and loads of masti... 


Night was awesome - soothing wind, sound of water, songs, madira and friends; what else one can wish for !!! 




The next day was the D day, after small session of instructions on how to sail, swim and survive in rapids we started the water rafting.

I think startling is the only word to describe it - cold water splashing on your face, rapids flashing ahead of your boat & your boat inclines for more than 80 degrees. All you can shout is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

not with fear but for fun!





After 3 hours of rafting, fun, shouting, water and lots of memories; we headed back home.................





                                                               



A satisfying holiday is nothing but a perfect way to say
"I Love you life"
