Yayawar goes cleaning Kasol – Follow-up

The Clean Kasol campaign was a success then. But does that implies a garbage disposal solution is in place and the problem has been resolved forever? Coming back to home, I published the event report at my personal blog which was well received. However, a long-term solution was what I was thinking of. (more…)

Day 3: 23 June 2014 : Contented we return from Kasol Last night, we had already settled the bills and had no plans to visit Manikaran, so while everyone else woke up early and went in their direction, we woke up leisurely around 0900 hrs. Lazily, we freshened up, had our bath, packed the belongings, had a tea and then around 0930 hrs, we started for the Kasol Market. Om arranged for a porter to…

Day 2: 22 June 2014 : Kasol Cleanup drive I woke up in the morning and it was drizzling with no one around and so I went again for a nap after getting free from morning rituals. Woke up again around 0900 hrs and came out to see the drizzle still continuing. There was a heavy fog kind of setup in the direction where Parbati was flowing. Perhaps it was mist created by furor Parbati and all that we…

Day 1: 21 June 2014 : Noida to Kasol / Chalal

We got up around 0330 hrs and freshened up and by 0430, we were all set to zip. Sany has already expressed his desire to be on wheels as he wanted to test the Beast’s power and it was agreed that he would be driving for the entire trip. Couple of calls were exchanged with Dheeraj as it was decided that we’d be meeting at Mukarba Chowk by 0500 hrs and…

Day 0: Various dates : The idea germinates and take shape

Kasol is known as mini-Israel of India, owing to large aggregation of tourists from Israel who spend months on months there, soaking in the nature and inhaling & ingesting (you know what Kasol, Tosh and Malana are famous for).

Day 3: 02 June 2014 : Return to chaos

Yesterday was a day where all our wishes have been fulfilled and nature had treated us with all that was in it’s kitty. Today was the departure day from Rohru, going back to the chaos and maddening rush of NCR. How much I hate being there.. but when you have to earn your bread and butter and save some pennies for traveling to these places, falling victim to…

Day 2: 01 June 2014 : Nature welcomes Yayawar at Chanshal Pass

Today was the BIG day for us as we would be visiting Chanshal Pass and celebrating DoW’s Anniversary there by cutting a cake (Yes! Samar had carried a special cake for the occasion!). However, knowing that Chanshal would just be 50 odd kilometers and probably that we would be going to the other side of the valley to Dodra-Kwar…

Prelude: Let me admit, Chanshal and Pabbar were names that I hadn’t came across until friends at DoW started discussing a 3 day trip in May start on the WhatsApp group. I was just a silent reader of the discussion and the talks were about going together in one or two cars.…

Day 2: 20 December 2013: Exploring Mukteshwar & Sattal

I had asked Bahadur last night about the sunrise time and he had said 0630. Not to miss the spectacular performance expected, I woke up at 0600, got fresh and by 0610, I was out of the room with my gears to witness the sunrise. However, it was still dark and not before 0650 hrs that I could see the first ray of light. However, the morning…

As year end was approaching, many friends at DevilOnWheelswere planning for an escapade in search of solitude and finally what we zeroed in on were Mukteshwar, Sattal (and other tals around Nainital) and Pangot. It was desided that we will spend one night each and the dates were finalised as 19th to 22nd December. Nainital was kept deliberately out of…

Yayawar Wanders in Ladakh & Spiti – Epilogue

A year and a quarter later – Epilogue

The entire experience of our Leh and Spiti wandering can be epitomized by the below pic

Pic courtesy: Cheena

There’s a race of men that don’t fit in, A race that can’t sit still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and rove the flood, And they climb the mountain’s crest; Their’s is the curse of the…

Day 19: 27 August 2013: At last, reached home!

By 0000 hrs, we were at HP-Punjab border. Driving further ahead, we stopped at the Chandigarh – Zirakpur McDonald’s for some food. Remember we barely ate something at the Mayur Dhaba, Sundernagar due to pathetic tasteand the last fulsome meal that we had was at Batal. So we stop and have some burgers and then rolls as well (of course chicken!). The…

Yayawar Wanders in Ladakh & Spiti – Day 18

Day 18: 26 August 2013: Finally out of the hole!

Stranded and walking on the road and at times trying to sleep, we spend our night….

At the break of the dawn, as soon as first light is visible, we wake up our driver and ask him to go and search for the diesel. He argues that it is too early in the morning (0500 hrs) and the petrol bunks would still not be open. We are all fed up with his tantrums…
