Rishikesh Trip

Ok I will start with this pic. Although much had already happened in the trip:
We started around midnight from Delhi. "We" includes me, Abhishek, Sourav, Mohit and Sandy. See how the story unfolds and the new names come forth.

We headed towards Mussoorie and on the way passed by Roorkee and Dehradun. Feeling too sleepy the driver took a break at a dhaba. No not a tea break but a nap. And with him on the first seat, sandy on the second, the reat of us were left with just 1 seat to share.

So we came out of the stuffy place and rolled out on the cots down there for the truck drivers. Dekhte hi dekhte it was bright blue sky. And we moved forward on our journey.

Now, Mussoorie is a quiet a place, "not worth vising even once". Everywhere ther is commercialization. And the place has got no tourist spots but just shops. Only spot where one can have some fun is Campty Falls.

Then we headed for Rishikesh by evening and the pic below is taken on our way to the camp where we had a night stay.



The we had a small volleyball match on the Ganges river bank. Everyone being a novice in this game, the ball was uncontrollale. At last we decided on a better game: "football" using "volleyball" but not before we captured our skills on the shutterbug.


The night stay at the camp was really great, and the moments can't be captured in my words. We had some vodka arranged for the night, only some. And loads of kurkure and namkeen. The atmosphere and ambience was great. Bon Fire alongside and the silent sound of the river flowing added to the pleasure. Every one of us swept away from the real world.....



This is myself and Katy (katy since his last name is katihar, although I like calling him HULK) infront of our camp.


This is when we reached one of the rock heights.


Just before the rafting session started we were in really high spirits.



In between the session we had to ask for some breaks (some of them for peeing, we just could't let it loose in ganges!!!). we were all dead tired, but the spirits I was talking about kept us going.


The ultimate thriller was the cliff jumping. Before reaching the height we were bus itna saa, and upon reaching the height we almost froze......


This is the chosen pic of all the pics taken throughout the journey:


Ah I forgot about the cheer up songs we had on the raft:
Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Oh Baby
oooooooooooooooo....(and then a splash of our oars into the water)



This trip was really a great one. My companions on this trip were:
SSC (Sandy Sleeper Class)
Jandi
Katy
and Mohit Sex Hai Naa (he is actually mohit sexena)



GOOD BYE
