10th June 2013. Badrinath to Haridwar.




This day was completely spent in the travel. There was nothing to write about. It was a comfortable travel. We started from Badrinath at around 6.30 and reached Haridwar at 7pm. We had already spoken to the people of Premnagar Ashram and after getting down headed straight to the ashram. After checking in took bath, had dinner and retired for the day

Day 5, Khajuraho

Image
Amidst the timeless allure of Khajuraho's temples, we were captivated to the point that an additional day was deemed essential to truly savor the grandeur that unfolded at every turn. With the majority of these architectural marvels under the watchful gaze of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), our extended day in Khajuraho promised a sunrise-to-sunset odyssey. Kicking off our explorations at 9 a.m., the enchanting Jain group of temples beckoned us first, conveniently nestled near our accommodation. Each temple, adorned with intricate sculptures, stood as a testament to the artistry of ancient times. Venturing inside, we sought the blessings of the deities enshrined within, immersing ourselves in the spiritual ambiance.

Trip to MP, Chitrakoot

In front of Kamadgiri Temple Embarking on the enchanting trail from Maihar to Chitrakoot on the crisp morning of January 15th, our expedition unfolded with a tapestry of cultural exploration and scenic wonders. Navigating through the heart of Chitrakoot, our journey began with a scenic bus ride from Maihar to Satna and another from Satna to Chitrakoot. Enroute, a fellow passenger shared a local gem—Kamadgiri Bhavan—as the perfect abode. With anticipation building, an auto-rickshaw swiftly transported us. This haven was available at a reasonable cost of 1500 rupees. Our cozy three-bed room at Kamadgiri Bhavan boasted modern amenities, including an attached geyser and an air conditioner—though the chilly weather rendered the latter unnecessary. Freshened up and brimming with excitement, we embarked on the Kamadgiri Parvat Parikrama, a captivating 6km journey that included side branches like Laxman Pahadi. The barefoot parikrama unfolded with a visit to the sacred Kamadgiri Te

Awakening to the promise of a thrilling tiger safari, we decided to embrace the chill and venture into the wilderness of Panna National Park. The anticipation of the day ahead led us to check out of Prannath Dharamshala, leaving our luggage in the safe confines of the National Park office. At the crack of dawn, at a bone-chilling 5 degrees Celsius, we eagerly awaited the auto-rickshaw that would transport us to Mandla gate for our safari. The dense fog painted an ethereal canvas, and as we embarked on the 20 km journey, time seemed to stand still in the surreal landscape. Upon reaching Mandla gate, we confirmed our reservations for the tiger safari scheduled at 6:45 a.m.  Despite the biting cold, our spirits soared as we met our guide and the driver who would accompany us on this wild adventure. The early morning mist shrouded our surroundings, creating an air of mystery and excitement. The safari began, and although the initial fog hindered visibility, the day gradually unfolded its s
