Dhanachuli & Bhimtal Trip

I went on a 3 day trip to Dhanachuli and Bhimtal in May this year with my parents, uncles, aunts and cousins. It was a big group and we all drove down to Bhimtal and Dhanachuli. The trip was awesome fun, you can have a look at some of the pictures below.


Quiet & Serene Bhimtal - Thats how it looks almost all the time!



Minesota resort in Bhimtal. It was very beautiful, but little scary at night!


Early morning view of the snow covered mountain ranges.



I love the blue sky


This temple was on top of a hill and was built by a sadhu years ago.


Have you seen a step farming for wheat?


Rise and Shine!


My attempt at serious photography?


Before....


...and this is what I call an after picture.

Amritsar Trip

I went for a short trip to Amritsar on a long weekend and had loads of fun. Amritsar is located in the northwestern part of India in the State of Punjab, 32 miles (51 km) east of Lahore, Pakistan. Have a look at some of the pics that I took during my trip.




Are we there yet????




This is definitely one of the most beautiful temples that I have seen.



So, does it look pretty only at night?



Image of Golden temple in water...still as beautiful


View From Golden temple's Terrace!


Golden Temple? Are you sure its the same...its a Hindu temple in Amritsar made on the lines of the Golden temple...




The Road leading to Pakistan!




The famous gate to Pakistan...the Wagah Border!



Is it an India-Pak cricket match? naaah!


Best business at any location, including the India-Pakistan border ;)




Indian Flag with Pakistan written in the background




The Indian Flag!

Indian Countryside

These picture are not one of the best that I have taken. But, it was a nice and relaxing trip for me to the countryside, so I wanted to share the pictures on my blog. Hope you like it. If you are wondering about the location of the countryside, its near Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.

River Gomti in Lucknow, it was so quiet and peaceful...




This picture is not clear at all, but I still like the contrast between a hut & an elevated railway track!


Such a lovely Green countryside. Weird angle of the picture is due to the moving tractor.



I loved this bumpy & noisy ride...it was kinda cool!


Nice and pretty!


Papaya Tree



I somehow love this picture



This one is beautiful too!



Aahaa....How can I visit the countryside and not see any cattle.




Look who is posing now ;-)

Mumbai Trip

This post contains pictures of my most recent trip to Mumbai in July 2007. I think July is the worst time to visit Mumbai as at time the monsoon season is at its peak and Mumbai is badly flooded and it becomes really difficult to move around the city. However despite all this I had a lovely time in Mumbai take a look at some of the pictures I took:







The famous Marine Drive, with a touch of reality.









Gate-way to(of) India?









Local train ki patri. I really like this picture, don't know why.









Now who would believe this is Bombay? This is a view of the Bombay backwaters. Nice, clean and green!









The name is awful, but trust me the place is a foodies delight!









No kids on the slides when its raining.









The sky clearing after the rain.











Slightly stuffed local train.









And who says the train is always stuffed, there are a couple of stops when you may get to do this. Oh by the way this can only happen in the ladies compartment, not in the general one!









Do I see something in the sky?









Yet another random shot of the sky. I love doing this.









Hey I had no clue that HMV's full form was this before I saw this sign board.











A repeat of a picture taken by me in before?











A big portion of Bombay!











The beautiful Taj hotel of Bombay, built right opposite Gateway of India.
