Day 2

"Devprayag" A Godly Confluence.

Devprayag is the sacred event of merging two visible heavenly rivers, Alaknanda & Bhagirathi to form the holy Ganga. Its believed that a third river, the mythical Saraswati river is underground and meets these two rivers at the confluence .

➡️Part 2 📸🏍️ Reaching the Sangam🌊🏞️ .

A bit tired and a little stiffness in back😅. Finally reached the heavenly sangam Devprayag. Well place is beautiful as its name. While standing here on the highway the view from here is remarkable🏞️ .

Riding whole night wasn't an easy thing for anyone, unless and until you get little support from those energy drinks(caffeinated beverages) that gives your senses boost and lets you stay awake. The highway is still under construction and the roads were full dusty making me look unrecognizable😅.Same happend with my friend too who accompanied me .It was just like an off-road adventure on an National highway🛣️ .

Day 4

➡️ PART 4 Capturing moments

After taking rest for the day i started to move on to my destination towards Auli.An early start wasn't possible for us, as it was Holi festival. People around  were in full mood and playing with colours🎨.So I started a bit late by 11.30 AM🕚 in hope that people might had stopped playing with colours.But a bit rash riding saved me from the children who were throwing water from rooftops😅🌊 .

After crossing the city i stopped here to take sip of water and captured this beautiful village . It looks people living here might be living there life at peace and without any trouble.But the fact is, life in mountains if very hard.Let it be the children who had to go to schools by climbing hills, womens who had to come down from the ridge to go and fetch essentials and sometimes water and men who had to work hard on hills to do farming .What looks from outside is not from inside😓.A place not eaisly adaptable by a person living in city. .

We just visit there for a couple of days to enjoy the views around and to refresh our souls. .

Humble request to keep mountains  clean and green by contributing towards environment wellbeing as a good citizen🤗♻️🚮🙏 .

Day 1

➡️Part 1 📸Ride to Auli🏔️🏍️ .

Well looks I should go and take a hotel nearby, but can't book😶.
Else thought to stay and enjoy this beautiful view and cold breeze by sitting around Ganga river.The place crawls up with tourists in daytime and at night it feels so calm and blissful.
A late start from Delhi made me to stop at this place. It was around 2:AM when i reached here to take some rest. This photo i took is just before ram-jhoola.While it was one of my first longride ride when I didn't slept whole night. After a while i further moved towards to my destination Shrinagar🏞️ . 🌟Next part of blog will post 🔜 .

Day 5

Met with a beauty😍🏔️

➡️PART 5 Enjoying the view around

Moving along the highway i stopped at this place to relax and to strech my back a bit. As i looked around i found the first glimpse of the snow clad mountains, which filled my soul with enthusiasm. My heart felt to reach out this place as it appear so fascinating. But wasn't possible as had to move further to my destination Auli🏔️⛰️🏔️. .

The trees around looked diffrent with rare type of leaves🍁🍂 only found at such heights.It was getting colder🌨️ here even in the mid day at 3 Pm. The air also became fresh and cleaner now.I tried capturing the best view which i had experienced here.

Further you can check out the other images of what i found here😅🍁.In next part will share you the beauty of Auli🏔️🌲.

Day 6

➡️Part 6 Jogini Falls

Just few km before joshimath i saw this amazing place on the highway.A very calm fall at the side of the mountain.The sparkling water was something amazing i liked about it .A great place to enjoy nature's presence amidst Nanda Devi National Park.
So i didn't resist to capture a memory of here.

I had a deep wish to explore where the water was coming from top. It always made me anxious when I see the picture of this place.

There was a little trail through which you can climb up and get a beautiful view. I wasn't lucky to trek above, as had to reach Auli on time .So just said a sweet good-bye to this little amazing place and promised  myself to visit this Nature's Trail next time.

Day 7

➡️Part 7  The Himalyan view

A beautiful place which makes your heart feel the real bliss of nature . A road that takes you to the view-point of Himalyan peaks.When you experience the beauty at its whole you become blessed.

The way to this mountain top known as Auli starts from Joshimath with just 16 km drive.The moment i started moving ahead i experienced fresh snow on the road and it was too risky to drive as it became slippery.So i stopped on the side and started to play around with snow .

Further moving ahead to Auli just 5 km before Auli I experienced the first view of this snow-clad mountain.The trees were at their full bliss, with flowers glooming and spreading out their essence.Experiencing such a beauty was a lifetime experience for me.

Day 8

➡️Part 8 Auli

Some places are just like a beautiful story.My ride to Auli was one of them . The place is full covered with snow and the view around were amazing to watch🤩. The best part i like the mountains view wich made me felt alive again after a hard tiring ride.The moment i stepped on to the snow it filled me with enthusiasm⛷️ SWIPE RIGHT FOR MORE PICS ⏭️⏭️⏭️☃️ Some of the best place to be in uttrakhand.But due to lack of time i wasn't able to visit the cable car. So i took snow boots from a hawker nearby on rent and went  up the mountain to enjoy in snow.After returning i thought to took a hotel and stay here .But got little late and not able to get a room in Auli. So had to descend down back to joshimath to take a hotel.And next morning to visit Narsingh temple and to reach Rishikesh.

Day 9

➡️Part 9 Returning from Auli

After spending quality time in this beautiful place it was time now to return back to Joshimath as no hotels were available in Auli.
So I started my return and collected memories of few places around.

This picture i took in the midst of my journey to joshimath.The nature was at its full bliss and the dawn was making it more beautiful with the snow mountain view .It was just like a dream road for me to ride here and my will was not allowing me to go back. I took few snaps and spent some quality time here further descending back to Joshimath.

Day 10

➡️Part 10 An unforgettable Morning

After I reached Joshimath, I wanted to visit Lord Badrinath Temple. But due to snow cover was unable to move further. So just made plans to return to Rishikesh next morning as it could take a whole day. So at night after having dinner when I was walking in Joshimath market, I got to know about Narsingh Temple.

Here Lord badrinath palki is kept during winter. So I got up early next morning to visit this beautiful temple and to have a glimpse of the Palki. Visiting temples early in the morning is always a blissful experience but here it was more than that. The best part I liked was the architecture of the temple and listing Lord Narsingh's Arti. The music would shake your heart as its filled with roaring sound.The Arti is said to ward off fears from one's mind .So do attend and feel the experience 🤗.

Sure you gonna love this beautiful place and get blessed by giving a visit here🙏.

Day 12

➡️Part 12 Stay at Rishikesh

The morning in rishikesh was blissful and serene. One thing common here is you could acknowledge people waking up early and doing yoga.Many travellers get early to trek and walk around the city.The ambience of this place is cool and full of happening. As you may found lot of people from diffrent locations of the world.

After having a good breakfast i took snapshots of the wall paintings inside the zostel.YOU CAN CHECK THE PICTURES BY SWIPING RIGHT🤗🎨 .Then i took a walk around the city and fetched ganga jal from the river.The market was also happening and many good stuff to purchase from here.

Reaching back to the zostel i packed up stuff and started my journey way back to Delhi.Few pictures i clicked at dam located bit outside of rishikesh.It was 2.30 pm i started my way back to delhi.As it was saturday so didn't took more pictures and straight away reached back to my room in dwarka.

Day 3

➡️Part 3 📸 Srinagar Morning🏞️🌄🌳 .

Reaching to midway of my destination Shrinagar just made me feel that further on my body wont allow to go.So i took a hotel asap and  crash on bed like i am no more😴 .

A butter chicken party at night clubbed with 4 shots of vat69🍾 helped me to feel relaxed the next morning.A memorable sunrise i experienced, which caught my attention the moment i opened my eyes🛌😶😃.When i went out to the balcony, the bright rays didn't allowed me to enjoy this view.This made me to put on my sunglasses to enjoy this moment😎 .

That was an auspicious morning to start a day with😅.But the last night when i reached the hotel the whole body was in pain, so relaxed my nerves out with a good dinner🍗 and with some shots of whisky🥃.The food in uttrakhand is also famous to be spicy🌶️ and tasty😋. .

Day 11

➡️Part 11 The Last view of Snow Mountains

Well leaving back from Joshimath early was a hard feeling, as i wanted to stay more. Just two days leaves rest and i have to reach Delhi.The journey was more than 500 km and we could only reach to Rishikesh as highway was in a really bad shake. There were several landslides and mountain cutting was going which was also a problem.

But in between i took a little rest between my ride and found this beautiful view . And didn't resisted to capture this amazing snapshot.It was the last view😓 of those snowy mountains 🏔️on my return journey.

A ride of 9 hours made me to reach Rishikesh by 5 in the evening. I could feel the pain of this non stop ride in my back .I marked my stay at #Zostel, always a  happy place for all travellers. Where you meet many other like minded people from different places with a same zeal to travel😃.
