The beautiful rolling Himalayas, Mukteshwar

For all the madness and chaos that is typically India, there is an equally beautiful side that can be seen when one makes a trip to the hills or goes down to the beaches. Captured in these pictures are some of the beauty of the majestic Himalayan skies in the morning and evening and the beautiful sea beaches of eastern India. Enjoy incredible India !! 

Mysore Palace- evening silhouettes....

The Palace of Mysore is situated in the city of Mysore, a three hour drive from Bangalore. The palace itself is magnificent to look at , but what makes it really alluring is when it is lit up in the evening every Sunday. The silhouettes are absolutely breath taking...  

Dance of the Water-Brindavan Gardens Mysore

The evening fountain show at Vrindavan Gardens at Mysore, about three hours drive from Bangalore, provides a splendid view of the water fountains dancing to synchronised music, and a  multitude of colurful lights reflected on the dancing streams of water, throw up a wonderful splash of colour , which leaves you gasping for breath and longing for more. It is a not to be missed if you are on a trip to Mysore. The place itself is a pleasure during the daytime with water streams all around the park, but in the evening the dancing water sets up its own magic. You just need to stand and stare and simply gasp.If you are in Mysore don't miss it.    

Garhmukteshwar- Dip, Pray, Breathe

Garhmukteshwar is about 90 km from Delhi, on NH24 enroute to beautiful Nainital. It is an unfancied tourist spot, which only gets a distant glance as the hill bound tourist only slows down to steal a glance at the mighty Ganga flowing beneath the bridge and toss a coin into the river for a slice of good luck.

Garhmukteshwar is Delhi's closest view of the mighty Ganga. Take the left road down as you approach the bridge, park your car at the end of the road and walk down to the paved ghat area. It is business as usual, as is wont of any ghat on the Ganga, filled with all kinds of people, from the preists to the soothsayers, to people who have come for a holy dip or simply for the fun of taking a dip, not to mention of the boating crowd hagling away with the boatmen for a ride.

During the monsoons, the river flows at its mightiest, the landscape seems quite distant across the river on the farside. The water seems to be much cleaner than at Haridwar, and ofcourse the crowd much less.

Take a dip in the clear flowing water, or simply sit by it and be at peace, a small slice of life you wouldn't forget in a hurry. Or you can take a boat ride to the middle of the river, enjoy the cool breeze, stare at the calmly flowing water and forget the worries of life. There are no traffic snarls, no honking from behind, just your boat, the sound of the wind whispering in your ear, the mighty river in front and the ghats in the distance. The city is a distant dream.
