Travel Alone Day3

Haridwar>Rishikesh>>>


Real Travel
Yes my real travelling starts from today only, I woke up early in morning and done ganga snan at har ki paudi. I also performed some Pooja with the help of a pandit. Although I do not believe in those poojas but I had to put my mobile, wallet and clothes, so to keep them safe I asked pandit to perform pooja and till I am having bath, take care of my belongings. As you already know all these pundits just need money in the name of God, so I offered a total sum of Rs 30 to them, Rs20 to my real pandit and Rs10 to new pandit, whom my real pandit called. As soon as I told new pandit Ill give u only Rs10, he said pooja is complete. Business minded Pandits.
After this I returned to my hotel room, took my bag with me and headed towards Railway Station at Haridwar
Haridwar Railway Station

 to move towards 2nd spot i.e. Rishikesh. I took the ticket for it, but train was after 1:30 hrs, so I thought to have lunch in the mean time and save some time. As I was having my lunch one fellow came their and sat in front of me, he looked towards me and soon we started a conversation, when he got to know that I am travelling alone he asked me “ghar se jhagda karke aaye ho kya?” I said no, its just I wanted to explore myself, he reconfirmed me. Then he told me about himself being a military guy living near Haridwar only, because he was also alone, so I naturally asked “aap bhi akele?”, so he told me ya I am here only for ganga snan and live near haridwar only . Now he asked me “ghum liya Hridwar?” I said yes “Haridwar me ek ganga snan hi to karne layak hai”, he said “no go to Mansa Devi temple and Chandi Devi, there are ropeways on both the temples, you will enjoy there and feel like kahi ghum kar aaye”. I said “dono jagah jaau?”, he said no go only to Chandi Devi, its more cool, so I changed my plans and went to Chandi Devi temple and came to Haridwar Railway Station, headed towards Rishikesh.
In Rishikesh I visited lakshaman or Ram jhula, I don’t remember exactly whichever was the 1st one. Since the 2nd was 2kms away and to be covered on foot, and completely same as 1st one. I dropped idea of goin there.
Rishikesh(this murti is partially under water)
In Rishikesh only there’s a beach like place after crossing 1st jhula, I went there and spent some time in water, enjoyed the atmosphere. Visited nearby places, took some pictures. Now I got into a bus and headed for Dehradooon. Dehradoon was so much fun, that’s why Ill write about it in next blog.
Till then comment if you like my blog
