The Dreamland Rishikesh - (Beatles' special)

Just south of Swarg Ashram, slowly being consumed by the forest undergrowth, is what’s left of the original Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram. It was abandoned in 1997 and is now back under the control of the forest department. However, the shells of many buildings, meditation cells and lecture halls can still be seen, including Maharishi’s own house and the guesthouse where the Beatles stayed and apparently wrote much of the White Album. The once-striking art installation called The Beatles Cathedral Gallery has become a graffiti free-for-all, but it's still worth seeing. The place that left us speechless! we the riders one day roamed around  to find maharshi mahesh yogi's ashram in rajaji nationl park in rishikesh. 8 people on 4 two wheeler , with the help of GPS it hardly took 20 to 25 minutes to locate the ashram. But what we found was the closed gates. with the curiocity to know the inside story we walked through the woods only to find the amazing chorasi kutiya ashr...

The other day- Dev Bhoomi Dwarika....

Another Sunday another trip... And this time it was dwarka...  Yes Dev bhoomi Dwarika.. Dwarka is aprox 140 kms away from jamnagar this time we were 4 with two bikes, we left Jamnagar in the morning around 9 and with the average speed of 60 to 80 we reached dwarka on time (aprox 3 hours due to heavy traffic of reliance). First we visited the holy dwarkadhish temple and we took our lunch at hotel dwarkesh. And the food was not at all good. I mean I will never recommend this hotel to any of the tourist.   In the afternoon we went to the beach side and as usual our team has passed a great time with the photo shoot. There are several places near dwarka where one should go as those place are still unseen by many of the people. There is a small village named Shivrajpur is having pure blue and very clean beach and a light house over there where one can go. Shivrajpur is only 16 far from dwarka city. It is situated between mithapur and dwarka. The othe intere...

And the sudden plan took us to the Tarnetar mela - Tarnetar . As usual we have meet up in the morning for the breakfast and decided to go to Tarnetar meda for Sunday outing as this place is not so  far from Jamnagar , one can easily come back till the night. But this time we were only two but we enjoyed a lot.after finishing our all daily routines works me and ramiz started riding towards Tarnetar which is approx 160 far from Jamnagar . There are two ways to reach Tarnetar . 1st is Jamnagar to Tarnetar via dhrol - wakaner which is 145 kms and only dual track road, and another is Jamnagar to Tarnetar via rajkot chotila highway which is 165 kms away. We took the Rajkot highway and we left Jamnagar around 2 pm. This time we were on our Avenger 150. We reach to the tarnetar mela around 5 in the evening. And that was bit early because people are coming and setting up their stalls. We spent almost 2 hours over there, took many photographs (coming soon), went to the trine...

Sponteneous call of BECHTEL beach at Midnight !

https://www.facebook.com/TEKIHCAN/posts/10208588269332864 I don't have words to describe the beauty of almost full moon night view of the sea with the only sond of its waves and the beautiful sand beach... This place i s bechtel beach near to okha madhi (dwarka). After the dhuleti celebration the sudden plan takes us to this beautiful place. We left jamnagar around 1 AM and get back to jamnagar at 6 AM. No road is long enough if you have willing to ride. These time we were not in our bikes. But a road trip in a car is also a great experience especially when you have the great company of your nearest dearest friends. Usually I don't like to write such long paragraphs for any post or pictures but the experience of last night was just fantastic fantabulous. Do have a look at all the photographs and must visit this place when ever you get the chance, especially on the day of poonam (full moon). -ramiz + dslr =  Ramiz Chaki  's photography - white scorpio +  Parth Mehta ...

Destination AJMER -via- Shreenathji

"Don't you guys think that this, what we are going to accomplish soon, is going to be something super marvelous! I mean once in a lifetime achievement kind of!!” Said the excited girl accompanied by two boys on across-state bike trip. Resting for a while on a road side, on the palanpur highway, guys exclaimed and nodded in affirmation, feeling short of nicer words to explain "that" feeling. An October thought that turned out to reality again. Ajmer has acquired a special place in my heart from my childhood, and since my first visit, it has been on the top of the most divine places for me. On a one fine day, rather say night, a thought of Ajmer road trip flashed to me and in no time, Gaurav - my husband was my partner in crime-to happen! And sooner as we met in our Sahshik group, we shared the idea and Ramiz was the only one to dare to say "Yes, Lets go!" Proper planning was must for selection of date, route, time, stays and rest as well. After ...

Road trip to Somnath mahadev & Adri beach

One day, at the mid night in a street of Jamnagar, me and my friends  Gaurav Purohit    Aum Shilu  decide to go on a road trip to Somnath mahadev and next morning as soon as we woke up, we disappeared at 105kmph speed.  We rode 525km in 12hrs, yes sound like a crazy but we aren’t. We started our journey from Jamnagar to Junagadh on single track road, after having lunch at Junagadh, we took the junagadh-somnath NH8. That smooth and 4 track highway is perfect for the bike ride. So with the full fuel tanks we headed towards our destination and directly stopped at the holy place of the Aadi Jyotirling Shree Somnath mahadev temple. The somnath temple is located in prabhas patan near veraval in saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat,india, is the first among the twelve Jyotirling of Shiva. It is an important pilgrimage and tourist spot. The temple is considered sacred due to the various legends connected to it. Somnath means "Lord of the Soma", an epithet ...
