I have been Leh'ed: A beautiful place

Leh & Ladakh - A place not to be explained or to write down something about, but to experience and to feel! Hence, will not try to put any words for this place, but for sure will give some tips and need to share few memories about it.

Most important (based on the month of August):

- Keep your sunglasses and cap with you, God Bhanu will not be in any mood to spare you

- Keep lots of water with you during your journey, you need to be hydrated at all the time

- Good pair of socks and shoes are must everytime until you hit your bed in the night

- Be energetic, you are not going in plains and having a good laid back time near swimming pool, it takes lots of energy and courage to keep going on

- Every sight scene is far-far away from each other, so make your bike/cab/car your second home

- This is one of the place where you can actually be with you and can be yourself (may be low oxygen level and fresh air do the trick, scientifically :))


Things we covered in 7 days are in green (and a lot we missed but soon will be back there...):


Our Itinerary:

Day1 - Reached Leh, laid back

Day2 - Local Leh market

Day3 - Push off to Nubra Valley, stay in Hunder. Don't miss adventurous activities in between

Day4 - Trip to Thang - The Last village of India (this is after Turtuk, so don't get confused)

Day5 - Start from Hunder to Pangong Lake to back to Leh

Day6 - Laid back in Leh

Shirdi-Triumbkeshwar-Grishneshwar-Ellora

 Shirdi, Shanisighnaapur & Triumbkeshwar I got covered here…


This time we planned for Shirdi-Triumbkeshwar-Grishneshwar.

The day we landed in Shirdi, we went for auspicious sight of Sai baba.

Next day we started for Triumbkeshwar Jyotirling. Distance from Shirdi to Triumkeshwar, Nashik is approximately 120 KM, it took us around 2.5 hours to cover that distance. There is a lot of change in Triumbkeshwar since 2008, and we can see lots of crowd now as compared to the past. Had our time there with Triumbkeshwar Jyotirlinga and energy here is evident to anyone. After having our time in Triumbkeshwar, we started back to Shirdi.

Not to miss: There is a small village known as Anjaneri, as per mythology, Anjaneri is the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. This is known as Anjaneri hills also, as it’s situated on top of a hill and have waterfalls and lakes around. Anjaneri hills hold a lot of historical and religious significance and unfortunately we missed to visit this place because of driver, who didn’t tell us about the same and once we came back to Shirdi, came to know about Anjaneri.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next day was planned for Grishneshwar, Verul (Aurangabad), which is around 100 KM from Shirdi. However to our surprise, it just took 1.5 hours to reach here through Samruddha expressway, very much convenient to reach here. We had our time here and took blessings from Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10 minutes away from Grishneshwar, there are Ellora caves, which is must to cover if you would want to see the magic of our past architects and would like to perceive the presence of Shankar-Vishnu and other Gods around. Ellora caves are multi-religious complex which had been made by cutting huge rocks. Want to know more about Ellora, please visit Archaeological Survey of India's website.
