If you are visiting Sainj Valley, a visit to Shangadh Meadow- home to the Deity Sangchul Mahadev is a must. Acres of open green land lends path to an architectural marvel of Sangchul Mahadev Temple. The meadow is a sacred pasture, as legend has it, created by the Pandavas while they were on their agyaatvaasa run. The meadow is used by the cattle of the locals for grazing and is maintained by the devta committee here. When it snows, the meadow remains easily accessible and can easily give Swiss alps a run for their money.

भृगु, भसूड़ी और ट्रेकिंग का रोमांच!

3 comments

हमें इस ट्रेक से जो समझ आया, वो ये था कि हमारी ज़िंदगी भी तो किसी ट्रेक की तरह ही है। मंज़िल तक पहुँचाने के लिए वो हमें तरह-तरह की मुश्किलों से मिलवाते हुए चलती है, पर आपको बस चलते रहने होता है। हर मुश्किल के साथ कुछ न कुछ सीखने को भी होता है। अगर आप मुश्किलों से हार न मान कर डटे रहते हैं तो मंज़िल तक ज़रूर पहुंचते हैं। किसी को प्यार में चाहना ही शिद्दत नहीं होता, शिद्दत हर उस चीज़ में होती है जो आपको ख़ुश करती है! तो, ऐसे काम ज़रूर करने चाहिए जो आपको अंदर से ख़ुश करें। ट्रैव्लिंग उनमें से एक है।

विंटर में स्पीति ट्रिप – A Bawray Banjaray Guide

स्पीति वैली के लोगों की लाइफ तो मुश्किल है ही, ट्रैवेलर्स के लिए यहाँ पहुँचना उससे भी ज़्यादा डिफ़ीकल्ट है, ख़ास कर के सर्दियों में। जब नवंबर दिसंबर में बर्फ पड़ना शुरू होती है और रोहतांग के साथ साथ कुंजुम ला भी बंद हो जाता है, सर्दियों में स्पीति पहुंचने का सिर्फ एक रास्ता रह जाता है! हिंदुस्तान-तिब्बत हाईवे पर सतलुज नदी का पीछा करते हुए किन्नौर से आगे निकल कर स्पीति और सतलुज के संगम पर सतलुज छोड़ के स्पीति के साथ हो लेने वाला ये रास्ता ही विंटर स्पीति एक्सपेडिशन्स की मार्केट चलाता है.
