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 interesting beach is Bechtel beach which is aprox 20kms far from dwarka city. Bechtel beach is very beautiful place people are coming over there for picnic as it is a very wonderful place. The view of the sunset is just awesome from this beach... And just because it is not in touch of so many humans it is still neat and clean. Here we are sharing some pictures taken by our team on our road trip.
Read More About  Dwarka- 
Dwarka is a small city and a municipality of Devbhoomi Dwarka district in the state of Gujarat in northwestern India. It is located on the western shore of the Okhamandal Peninsula on the right bank of the Gomti River. In 2011 it had a population of 38,873. Dwarka is one of the foremost Chardhams, four sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites, and is one of the Sapta Puri, the seven most ancient religious cities in the country. Dwarka is often identified with the Dwarka Kingdom, the ancient kingdom of Krishna, and is believed to have been the first capital of Gujarat.




The city's Dwarkadhish Temple dedicated to Krishna was originally built around 2,500 years ago, but was destroyed by Mahmud Begada rulers and subsequently rebuilt in the 16th century. The temple is also the location of Dwaraka maţha, also called Sharada Matha/Peeth and "western peeth",[1][note 1] one of the four peeths (Sanskrit: "religious center") established by Adi Shankaracharya. As an important pilgrimage center for Hindus, Dwarka has several notable temples, including Rukmini Devi Temple, Gomti Ghat, and Bet Dwarka.


There is also a lighthouse at the land end point of Dwarka.Dwarka's economy relies heavily on pilgrims and tourism but is supplemented by the production of millets, ghee (clarified butter), oilseeds, and salt, which are transported from its port. A long-term development plan was proposed in 2011 by the Government of Gujarat, with investment of ₹830 million to refurbish the city of Dwarka and build a bridge connecting the city with Okha and Bet Dwarka. Janmashtami is the main festival that is celebrated during August and September. Sharda Peeth Vidya Sabha is an educational society sponsored by the Sharda Peeth, Dwarka which runs an arts college in Dwarka. Dwarka was selected as a heritage city by the Indian government's Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY) initiative.

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 ...

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...
