A Trip....contd

We reached Chandigarh at 3 in the night. The night time adventure included dragging our trolleys on the streets of chandigarh as our bus left us in the middle of the road. But Chandigarh was grt....awesum city, not the least like Delhi.
The museum, lake and the rock garden were the places we went to, of course after visiting the post graduate institute(PGIMER),it was an educational tour, remember!!

The next day we went to Kasauli - it was the most beautiful place i'd seen all my life...amazing!!! The sights were breathtaking. The winding roads tht lead up to this quaint hill station did make me realise tht i suffered from a terrible form of motion sickness! Tht was the least enjoyable part but the overall experience was mindblowing..we walked abt 8 kms tht day without feeling the least bit of fatigue, probably the fresh air we breathed was reason for it! our lungs must have enjoyed it as well...

Haridwar....the holy city on the banks of the Ganges....our next destination
Having taking a dip in the mythical river made us feel as if our souls had been purified...
A ropeway took us upto the mansa devi temple atop a hill and it also allowed us a wonderful view of the entire city.

After haridwar we proceeded to rishikesh..another of those sacred cities of the north.it was our bad luck to have missed the ganga arti for we reached there late in the evening.crossing both the ram and lakshman jhulas was quite exciting for all of us.

We reached Dehradun tht same night and the next thing i rememeber is falling fast asleep. Travelling throughout the day did make us tired but we were ready for more excitement in the days to come...a major part of our journey was over but still it wasnt the end yet!!!!!!!
