Resort in Khurpatal, Nainital

I always wanted to updated with this resort details in the blog.
I have stayed in this resort "Dynamic Resorts" in khurpatal, 10 kms from Nainital on Kaladungi Road, Nainital.
Any one who are planning to Nainital jus have a look @ the below pictures.
You can find more information from the Dynasty Resorts website also.
For Accomodation & Tariff, click here.
If you are a budget traveller, forget this.

 

I went to Khurpatal in september 2006 & stayed for couple of days in the resort.
The hospitality was good & also the food.
I enjoyed a lot in the two days trekking near by hills & the fun thing was i did it on rainy days.
It was absolute beauty on a rainy day.
 

 

As the resort website says "The house of Enchanting memories". Infact it is

Rain and Power Cuts

It rained heavily today evening, but jus for an hour.Rain brings power cuts to Noida.
Either heavy winds or fallen trees was the obvious reason, Since so many days i am facing the same issue-Power cut.
I dont know when & why the power goes, even if it come, it comes with a low voltage.
Summers suck in Noida.
Thank god i am leaving this place by this month end.

Road to Ladakh via Rohtang pass opens

It was in last year september i went to manali. Rohtang pass which was nearly 51 kms from manali was a beautiful place covered with snow & sorrounded with
mountains.i am not able to see the place but get some time to play with snow. we halted/stopped nearly 11 km to rohtang pass as the area was completely
covered with snow & was very difficult for drivers of tourist vehicles.
that was the only reason gaurds doesn't allow you to pass through the gates.


"Traffic resumed on the second highest motorable road in the world after Border Roads Organization (BRO) cleared the snow from a highly
treacherous road connecting Ladakh with the rest of the country."

The road linking Manali and Leh towns is closed for over six months every year,
as high mountain passes are cut off with heavy winter snow.

The rugged 470-kilometer road passes through the 5,360 meters high Tanglang La pass and the Rohtang Pass is,
however, the biggest hurdle on the long-winding road.

The BRO used snow cutters and heavy machinery to clear the road, which also serves as a strategic route for the army to reach the mountainous town of Leh.

The weather changes unpredictably, and temperatures dip to as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius making working in the region harsh and the sun is
extremely bright.

The only other vital road link to Leh, from Srinagar city in Jammu and Kashmir via Kargil town, was opened by BRO a fortnight ago.

The BRO, established as an arm of the Indian army, is responsible for construction and maintenance of vital border highways across the
entire Himalayan range.

The BRO has also undertaken fencing stretches of India's porous borders with Bangladesh.

Just a shot from a Moving Train

I have taken this snap when i was travelling from Kolkata to Varanasi.
I am trying to get the expressions of the lady, but unfortunately could'nt do that & finally got the below angle.
Thats why i mentioned "Just a shot from a moving train" as i didn't get any thing else to name this pic.
And also i thought of doing photoshop to crop that window rods, but decided to post the original.
