Sariska National Park-Hell of a Ride

August 09, 2018


Jaipur to Sariska


Here we go again this time it was Sariska National park. Which was approximately 130km from Jaipur. This was also a bike trip so this time we had 3 bikes one was Royal Enfield 350, Pulsar NS160, and my Bajaj v15. We rented one bike which was pulsar ns 160 from the ONN bikes  We got a good deal from there so we booked the bike one day before the trip. Next day morning we were supposed to leave by 6 in the morning but on that day it was raining very badly in Jaipur. The roads were filled with complete water so then the trip was delayed by 2 hours and we started our trip by 8. Due to rain, the climate became very pleasant and the NH8 is always a road to ride. After 1 hour of a ride from Jaipur, we stopped near chandwaji at Rajshree resort to have breakfast the breakfast was very good and the tea was tasty.



bajaj v15 pulsar ns160

After a break of half an hour, we continued our journey towards Sariska. After sometime we decided not to go with the highway and to take the other road which was going from the village areas because when we go from roads we see a different thing but when we go from the village areas we are able to experience the nature, the smell of wet mud, the children in the village and many more things we experience if we go from the village areas of Rajasthan.



Towards Sariska


sariska national park

The roads were broken due to more and more bumps in the road my bikes shocker were making some kind of noise which I was thought it was because of the roads but it was not true my one front shocker of the bike was broken of the oil from it leaking the oil from there was going to the engine and from there it was going into the air filter of the bike which made my air filter to burn I was pissed and very irritated and then after I realized my phone was also not working because when we started our journey I forgot to put it in my waterproof jacket the phone was also wet literally I was very irritated and pissed then somehow we reached Sariska.


sariska national park


literally, it was a bad day for me because only on that day the national park was closed then I told to myself it was not your day. Then we decided to head back to Jaipur I was a little worried because now I have to drive till Jaipur with only one front shocker it was becoming a scary thing for me but somehow with  a lot and lot of struggle somehow we managed to reach home safely by 6 pm in the evening and the good part was that when we just entered our house it was raining very heavily. I was very tired so I went directly to sleep 

And decided on that day I will visit Sariska once again in my life and I will explore it completely.

Pune - Oxford of the east - My Journey

July 12, 2018

Why is Pune called the Oxford of the east?

Pune is called the Oxford of the east because the number of colleges and universities are more than any other city in India that is why Pune is called the Oxford of the east

My Journey to Pune

jaipur junction at nightI traveled to Pune in the month of November. We traveled by train from Jaipur to Pune it was correct 24 hours of journey from Jaipur. This was a new experience for me,  I was going to a new place I have never visited  Pune was a very different place for me, I was very excited. After straight 24 hours, we reached Pune in the night time and the weather over there was very pleasant 

pune junctionWhen we reached there we were not getting the taxi, we wanted to go to a place called Hadapsar which was  11 km far from the railway station but after a lot of trying we got an Uber Taxi. After reaching home we were very tired and sleepy we went directly to sleep. I spent seven days over there in Pune I was not able to explore more.


Amanora Mall


amanora mall

But before 2  days of leaving we went to the Amanora mall it was just 6 km from our house it was just in the front of the Seasons mall. The Ambience and atmosphere of  Amanora mall were just awesome and it was damn huge it was not possible to take a complete tour of the mall on the same day so we decided just to cover some parts of the mall but I have to it is a must visit place in Pune. When we were walking in the mall we were feeling like we are in some country there were a lot of Café inside the mall.


amanora mall inside
We went there on a Sunday so there was a lot of crowds, there were a lot of people from different state different country it's always a fun to see different people from different cultures coming together to a place to chill to enjoy to experience something that ‘s the story of my country. Coming back to the mall there were many brands for clothing purpose, sports, bikes, cars, etc, there were many international brands also. The timing of this mall was 11 am to 11 pm,  so the mall was about to close so after some shopping we went back to the home.


Shopping Mall at Pune


d mart puneNext day we went to D-mart for some home items it was a place where you can find everything possible let it be clothing let it home items every basic item were available over there. We did some shopping from there and then went back home.


After the next day, we were leaving back to Jaipur this time also we were going by train. It was a very good journey the experience I had in the train was very awesome we were side by side of a mountain and on the other, the sunset was happening it was an awesome scene for me it was my first time experienced something like that. It was also a 24 hours journey by train, we reached Jaipur in the next day in the correct time.

At last, I just want to say that if you planning to visit Pune you must have 1 week to explore everything there are not much places to visit in Pune all the places are nearby Pune. Otherwise, the climatic condition is very good in Pune it always very pleasant over there and the people over there are very kind and good-hearted people ready to help anybody. It is a place to visit.

Jaipur To Bhangarh Fort - My Road Trip

Jaipur To Bhangarh Fort - My Road Trip

July 06, 2018
This was going to be a different experience for all of us because whatever stories we were listening from our childhood was going to be true we were going to experience the Bhangarh 

Bhangarh fort

The fort has been associated with several horror stories and is known as the most haunted place in India., Not only in India it is famous in other parts of the World also. Many tourist visit every year to Bhangarh to experience the feeling of fear . So one day, me and my friends decided to visit Bhangarh we wanted to experience the original thing is there any negative energy or something like that . It was approximately 90-95 km from Jaipur. We started our journey in the early morning 6 am. This was a bike trip so we had 2 Bikes Bajaj v15 and RX 100 This time also we  were going with pillion we were 4 people.  This time we took the Jaipur – Agra  Highway seriously it is just a piece of cake it’s a very smooth highway . While we ride we should always keep in mind we should not eat heavy food otherwise our body will go on fully relaxed mode so you will get into sleep which is not safe while we ride. So in the breakfast we had “Poha” and Water and One thing we should always remember while we ride we should have lots of water to keep ourselves hydrated . It is very necessary. It took us approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to reach there because we were stopping for photography and water.

way to Bhangarh

About Bhangarh

Now it was the Bhangarh Fort which was very big. It is located in the Bhangarh village.  The Bhangarh village itself contains a very big story. If we want to know anything we should talk to the local people over there.  When, we asked about the Bhangarh to the local people out there. There grandfathers who lived there, they have told them they always have felt some kind of negative energy for the fort in the night time. Which increased our curiosity to get inside The fort. There is no entry fees  to enter the village or to enter the Fort the only charge is for parking the vehicle which was 10 INR for bikes and little more for cars .

Bhangarh kila

The moment we entered Bhangarh we felt something which was different from what we were told about Bhangarh  the Atmosphere over there was very different it was completely green like we have come into some park. The Bhangarh Fort is located on a hill top to reach there we have to take the stairs but when we reach there on the top the Bhangarh Fort we could see the whole Bhangarh village from up there it was completely different experience from up there. We went to every rooms over there every place outside the fort  there was a “Kund” (small area to take bath) in which the queen   used to take bath but when we visited there it was very dirty many people have thrown many plastic waste in that area it was looking very dirty. The water in that was very bad. “always remember please never make our old heritage dirty please don’t throw the plastic waste anywhere because lot’s and lot’s of people visit to experience something why should we give a bad picture of that palce in their minds we should always keep every place clean”.

a room inside bhangarh
We visited Bhangarh in the day time so we were not able to see or experience any kind of negative energy but many people have told that when we go into that place in night we will be able to experience some kind of negative energy. The Bhangarh closes after 5pm nobody is allowed to go inside, but there is one way also which comes inside from the jungle which comes directly towards the bhangarh fort but it is not recommended to go inside bhangarh in the night time because anything can go wrong. 



This was our whole journey about the Bhangarh , you should visit it once to experience it. One thing we should always believe that if God exist then there is also negative energy because everything has two sides one is the good side and another is bad side so just by seeing the fort we cannot decide how bad it can get.

The Sambhar Lake

March 04, 2018
This was my second ride. After my Ajmer ride i was very excited for this ride everything was well prepared as usual  we were not telling to our parents about our ride as i told in the last blog we are not allowed to travel to long distances on our bikes. but this time we were confident for our ride. like always a budget was decided and everything went smoothly. finally the day came when we started our ride we were very excited as always. we choose to go from the Jobner road.

ls2 hemets and gliders hemets

So the which we choose was from the village areas. so it was quiet interesting to go from the village areas in starting the roads were smooth but after some time the roads become little tuff  the veichles were not the same this time this time we had first was my bike the Bajaj V15 and Honda Shine condition of the Honda Shine was not that good but somehow we managed to get it towards the Sambhar Lake we had only one break for the tea 


After a long break we continued our ride towards sambhar lake. I think within 3 hours we reached our destination i know everybody will think how can anybody take 3 hours to complete a 90 km ride but the truth is we were enjoying the ride we do not wanted to rush we just wanted to take time and enjoy our ride. 
The time we spent over there was awesome. we clicked some pictures 


SAMBHAR LAKE VISIT


 The time we went there it was in the summers so we were very 
 tired due to the heat so we decided not stay there for more long   then we decided to head back towards the but while returning back we decided to take the highway not to go from villages because it will break our bodies. while returning the weather changed completely it started to rain and we were completely wet. we were not carrying any kind of rain suits but luck by chance our bags were waterproof . so we put our all electronic stuff inside our bags and continued our way back to home.
while returning we had one break for the food we had the food from a hotel on the highway which was the NH-8 Ajmer-Delhi Highway we reached back to our homes very fast.

At last i realised that by every ride we always got to learn new things so we should enjoy whatever we are doing without any worries.
