What is it all about : Tired of slogging for MNCs, Frustrated with 'single' status, irked by the unavoidable noise and rush in the metros, game for any kind of adventure sports..four dudes set out to have the best of the time they got in their hands..a long weekend..21-23March,2008.
Whom are we talking about : Kishore, Prasanna, Sandheer and yours truly.
Where did these troubled souls seek refuge ? In the laps of holy mother Ganga, in the cradles of lower Himalayas called Shivaliks, away from the boisterous crowds and smothering project deadlines...
Didnt these guys get bored there ?? hahaha..you must be kidding...bored ?? there are many more challenges here..more interesting than what you find in the yellow cubicles..you are surrounded by hills you can climb, jungles you trek, cliffs you can jump off from, scenic locations for the photographer within you and rivers that you can raft along....few things are better experienced than talked about...n this belongs to that genre.
Hey were these folks gone nuts ?? they slept in jungles, bathed in cold waters and what not ??
relax grandpa..there are base camps every where starting from Rishikesh till Devprayag..They offer you tents with beds and beddings to sleep in, bathrooms to bathe in, delicious food that can make you a glutton, bonfire and music to keep you warm...n for the alcoholics and smokers out there..dont worry ..ther are no restrictions...just gotta carry the stuff yourselves..n u can have loads of them !!!
But..how did they book the accomodation and all ??
Dont you guys google?? For those sluggards reading this..check out http://www.gio.in/
Everything sounds good, but where the hell is this place ??? Must be damn expensive...
Mind your words..i m talking about Himalayas and Ganga..how dare you use that word "h**l" !!!
This place is in Uttaranchal (Uttarkhand) ..yes it is an Indian state.. Place called Rishikesh is around 300Kms from Delhi..You can take your own car or book one..
The whole trip for one person from Delhi would cost around 5grand..
but..I cant swim, i am afraid of water and heights :( !!!
You ask too many questions man.... you remind me of booby man (guess who??)
every activity there is guided by professionals and utmost care is taken to prevent any mishappenings..n u dont need to swim, u will wear life jackets and wont get drowned during rafting...if you are afraid of heights..remember god gave you not just eyes..but eye lids too..close them.
if u r afraid of water, even God cant help you...
Well, my body is tired after all these adventures..and even after two nights of good sleep, it still asks for more.....Zzzzzzzz.........
