Chinma waterfalls a hidden treasure

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 07:52:00 +0000

Chinma Falls

Nestled among the hills of Shallang, a small town in the West Khasi hills, are two spectacular waterfalls- The Chinma Falls and The Rangmana Falls. These waterfalls are quite untouched and are known by only a handfull of people . However with time, the place is gaining popularity and now people are visiting these waterfalls from different places. The govt. of Meghalaya is also planning to make this place as a tourist attraction. The Waterfalls are around 170 km west of the captial city of Meghalaya, Shillong.

How to reach this place?

We can reach this place from multiple places as it is close to the state highway no 1 which is the bifurcation of National Highway no 217 from a place called Rongjeng around 22km west of the Waterfalls. The road to this place is not yet added to the google map till this day. So if your route is from the west then you should not reach till Shallang, but around a kilometer or two there is a small diversion of a trail. The trail can be identified with a this bridge as a marking point, if you cross the bridge which you will find just before reaching the town of Shallang then it will be clear that the diversion trail to the waterfalls is passed beyond. Then just reverse your ride and then the trail that you first left that you encounter after you cross that bridge will take you to those waterfalls.

If your route is from east i.e if you wanna reach this place from Shillong side. We have to travel west around 90km on NH 106 to a town called Nongstoin and then continue the journey on SH-1 around 80-85km. To reach the place while heading there from east the town of Shallang is to be crossed and then a bridge that I mentioned earlier to be crossed and then the trail to reach the waterfalls will be the first left after crossing the bridge.

I hope soon the Meghalaya government will put a signboard on the road and once its done then it will be quite easy to locate the place.

Way to reach the waterfalls

After being able to locate the road that heads towards the waterfalls , the trail gets bad for a couple of kilometres till which you will be able to take your vehicle . The good news is the government there is building new road and hope it gets done soon so that more people can swiftly reach this beautiful place,

but beyond a point you will have to trek for around half a kilometer. The trek is not so strenuous but the steep descent is bit dangerous if you are not used to steep climb. After the decent start we don’t have to reach out far for the Rangmanma falls and it’s majestic view is just mesmerizing. And during a normal day on the month of july it looks like this.

Rangmanma Falls

We can reach the top of Chinma Waterfalls and enjoy the view from to of it. Gazing at this wonder from a closeup top view

Standing on top of
Chinma falls

will not be as pleasant as looking at it from the bottom and up front. So, in order to reach the bottom of the Chinma Falls we have to descend down further from the point where we took left to reach the Rangmanma falls, now just follow the trail to the left. This descend is steeper so be careful. And ones you reach the bottom the mesmerizing Chinma Falls will be right before your eyes.

Some personal suggestions

Please wear shoes it will help you in the trek.
Please do not litter the place. Take your things and bring back and throw it to the litterbins on the top.

Visit a view point which is around 10km west to the waterfalls on SH1
View point

Don’t drink during the trekking as it is a rocky terrain so it can be catastrophic if you slip down.
Take water with you as you might get dehydrated while ascending

My personal experience

I started at around 10:00AM along with my friends from Dudhnoi and it took us around 3hours to reach the trail from the SH. It was our first time there and we didn’t know how to reach there and the roads. We just had few friends telling us the road that will lead us to the waterfalls. So we passed the trail and went till Shallang police station and on seeing the police station we came to know that we have gone beyond the place from where the trail starts and then we returned on that same road asking people and because of language problem we were not even able to ask them the location to the place. Luckily we found a man who explained us how we reach the waterfalls. The suggestions above for wearing shoes is because I personally suffered alot in that slippery terrain i was wearing slippers and it was a hell ride for me. I had to walk barefooted on those rocky terrain. And please take some water with you because while ascending its very tiresome and if you are not a frequent trekker then you might also blackout. The roads and the view to those roads are something to adore too. It gave me the real life manifestation of the saying that ‘Journey is equally beautiful to the destination’

On the way to

Chinma falls

The Journey From Kota to Guwahati

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 03:47:00 +0000

The Journey during lockdown

Today I'm writing almost after a year. Due to some of my personal reason. So I had to keep my blogging aside. I would like to appologize to all my readers for that and moreover until the lockdown is completely over I don't think that I would be able to put forword some content.

This is the journey that I have done during the lockdown. Hope you enjoy reading it. Lets jump into the journey without wasting time in the back story.

Our journey began from Kota, Rajasthan on 24/04/2020 with around 400 students and parents. Assam govt have done a admirable job in our return back home. There were 17 buses that brought us back to our state . This was my by far the longest journey that I ever had by a bus. And I dont think anything can beat this 2200km long journey in a bus. Yes it is true I can do it in a bike, car or even truck but not in a commercial bus that is something which I'm certain about.

We started from Kota, Rajasthan right around at 8:45 A:M in the morning but because of offical work it took us somewhat near of 12:00 noon to exit the city. But after that the journy started. I Saw the plight of the people on the road. Seeing the people we see in TV waiting for a transport to ferry them to their home. That day I again felt how much priviliged we are.

We were supposed to reach Khushinagar, UP at 10:00PM that day for a nightstay. But the journey started late so we kept on going and going then night struck. We reached UP at the Dusk and had some food and reached Jhansi, UP. There they checked few of our body temperature and did some of the routine stuffs. But they called up for a name called Haider Ahmed. I called out for the man and there were no one of such name in my bus. I checked out several times since it was a bus with 20 students so it was not that hard to notice that there was no one of such name. Later Jhansi, police called me enquiring about the person. I said if he would have been here I would have got him. Moreover the man was a parent and we dont have any parent in our bus. Later on I came to know that there was no Haider Ahmed in the whole group. Not only in bus 1 but neither of the buses. I have no idea who the UP police was looking for. Whatever lets go forward with the journey. Then we kept on going that night then I slept.

The next morning(25/04/2020) when I woke up the landscape had changed and much more greener and felt good. We were somewhere in UP crossed Lucknow and was heading towards Ayodhya. We kept on going and finally at around 12:30pm we reached Khusinagar, UP. There we stayed in a govt. of UP Made Resort. When I talked to few to staffs by seeing the influence of Buddhism in the area. Then I came to know that Khushinagar was the place where Gautama The Buddha took his last breath. Then I felt so good and blessed. Its a promise guys i will definitely bring you a detailed blog from Khushinagar in coming future.

Then at the time of deperture from Khushinagar. Me and my friend who were alloted the same villa took a nap and later everyone was on the bus and waiting for us. The resort staffs came in and asked us to leave since our fleet was about to leave. We ran to the bus and saw some very angry faces staring at us. Then we wents to the bus and did the counting and we were good to go again.

Then we keep on moving and reached Bihar Boarder by the Dusk. There we were stopped for about an hour. Then ones the bus started we were going again. As we had our dinner packed we only stopped for washroom breaks at few places. And in that same way the journey started and then I slept.

Next morning(26/04/2020) or to rightly say the last morning in the bus. We reached West Bengal boarder. And the big problem to deal was toilet. We stood by a petrol pump and brushed and washed us up but there were no toilet to be seen for. Few of my bus companions were desperate to go for a poop. So I found a place near a pond with sufficient bush as suggested by the locals there. I know it is not good unhygenic and all but what to do in that time of urgency. But they chose not to go there and returned to the bus. Then after we entered West Bangal it was so familiar and when we were about to reach Baghdogra the tea gardens popped up. At that time after a period of 10 month I felt like woo, this feels like we will reach home soon. When I saw the mountains from Baghdora I never felt so good. After seeing the stone laden hills with little scattered number of trees for the past 10 months in Rajasthan. Seeing this lush green mountains were like trat to my eyes. Then our journey kept on going and things got more and more familier. We got our lunch in our bus itself and we left West Bengal behind.

Then by the dusk we entered our homestate "Assam". There we were escorted by the police. We reached Kajolgaon, Chirang at around 9:00P:M. there we were welcomed by the police with applauds. I never felt so important. Then we were given our dinner. The dinner comprised of Pulao, Panner, potato and cauliflower fry, boiled egg, gulab jamun, a juice and an apple. The food felt so tasty it is incomprehensible. Eating basic food for the past time in the journey and suddenly getting good food is all that you want and the feeling was out of this world.

Then we started from there at around 11:30PM. And we reached our destination Guwahati's Indira Gandhi International stadium at around 3:30A:M 27/04/2020 , where our Hon'ble Health & Finance minister Mr Himanta Bishawasharma received us. There the girls were sent to the Hotels they are alloted and we boys are here in the Quarantine facility in Indira Gandhi International Stadium from where Im writing this blog.

The journey was not that smooth as it sounds. There were times when a bus got misrouted and went 40km away in the wrong path. One of the girl busted her head on the bus due to the jerking of the bus. But all in all it was a pleasent journey considering the grand scheme. I would thank all the police personals who had accompanied us and made our journey smooth.

Hope you enjoy reading this. Feel free to write me any suggestions, remarks that you are willing to share with me.

TOP PLACES TO VISIT IN DEOGHAR, JHARKHAND, INDIA

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Tue, 07 May 2019 20:16:00 +0000

The Trip: Top Places to Visit Deogarh

Hey! Readers. This is you travel buddy The Solo Xplorer Today I'm very excited and nervous too. This is my first blog outside of Guwahati . Hope you like it and keep supporting me like always. Thanks everyone for your love and support. Please comment your suggestion to me how to improve my blog.
As promised my reader friend. I was going to give you a surprise. So now the time has come to reveal. So without any further a due lets get started.

The journey

So I started my journey from my hometown of Dudhnoi. I started at around 11:45A:M from my home and went to Bongaigaon(a district city in Assam). Then from there I had my train till Rampurhat, West Bengal. So by 3:20 I boarded on the train and the train journey was as usual. And by 1:25 A:M. And got to an e-rickshaw and went to get the bus to

Dumka(A district city in Jharkhand) from where I was supposed to take the bus to Deoghar( District city in Jharkhand). So by 3:00A:M I got onto the bus for Dumka and reached Dumka by approximately 5:15 A:M . But due to high number of weddings the buses were reserved and waited for the bus then finally a bus came by but the number of people was so high that I sat on the top of the bus

. I was excited as in Assam i never faced the circumstances to sit on top of the bus. The experience was very nice. Looking at the landscape of rural Jharkhand it i was breathing. The roads from Dumka to Deoghar were straight as a needle. Next time i would try to go on a bike on that road as it will be paradise for one looking to check out their top speed on their vehicles. Then finally I got off when I reached Deoghar. By around 8:25A:M. So finally my destination was reached for the tymbing. And then went on to see the places.

The Places to visit in Deoghar

Baidyanath Dham

This place is one of the most important places in Hindu pilgrimage. This place is said to house Lord Shiva himself as the Jotirlingam.

As per stories my priest (pnda). Ravana the great perhaps the greatest devotee of Lord Shiva prayed to Lord Shiva for many years to take him to Lanka his kingdom. So that he can please Lord Shiva while looking after his Subjects. And he succeeded to take Lord Shiva in his Lingam form with a condition that he should not be kept anywhere. Where ever he keeps the Lingam no one in this universe will be able to pick that up for him or for anyone. So he started from Mount Kailash. But due to his huge ambitiousness The god's fear that Ravana will be so powerful that no one will be able to beat him with Lord Shiva protecting him. So they pleaded to Lord Vishnu and Lord Vishnu then pleaded to Lord Shiva.

On which Lord Shiva ask them to Plead Lord Ganesha. So Lord Ganesha decended on that place as a cow herder. And mean while Ravana had great urge to urinate. So he began searching for person to hold the Lingam. Then he saw Lord Ganesha (The Cow hearted) and pleaded him to hold the Lingam. On which he agreed. But when Ravana started to urinate he was not stopping at all. On to which Lord Ganesha said i cannot hold it anymore it is so heavy and I'm just a small boy. Then Lord Ganesha kept it. Then after some time Ravana stopped Urinating and went to pick the lingam but he failed. He was devastated. And went to another place to meditate and pray Lord Shiva to let him take to Lanka. But he failed and Lord Shiva never went to Lanka

Tapovan

This is the place according to the legends where Ravana went to meditate after his disaster that i mentioned before. Lord Shiva refused to go. This made him sad and from there he returned to Lanka.

This place is around 4-5km from Deoghar. You can easily take an auto to the place

Nandan pahar park

This is a beautiful park.

Located on the bank of a pond. This is not like a big Amusement park

but a rather small park with great views and silent back drop here you

can come and relax. This is in the sub urban area of Deoghar.

Trikut Pahar:

Ravana from abducting Mata Sita. The top peak has a great view. Even if you don't believe this tales you can come to visit this place just to experience the sheer beauty of the place.

The rope way made it easier for visitors to see the place. I would like to jump from the cliff with a wing suite. It would be so much fun. This place is around 16km from Deoghar town but the place is so common that you will get Auto to there alway .

Satsang Ashram

This is the headquarters

of the dharma called 'Joyguru'. Which I'm too a follower of. This place is very beautiful. You will find peace in here. Everyone can visit this place irrespective of gender, religion, caste, creed and race.

I would like to suggest everyone to visit this place too.

The Conclusion

Sorry everyone since i was in hurry and was visiting the places. I was only able to visit Baidyanath Dham and Satsang Ashram but the other places are all my visited places. And all the reviews are 100% genuine. I apologize for that . And the pictures are of my old visits. I was not able to visit those places. I would like to suggest you that if you want to visit all the places you can it is not impossible but it will be too hectic and you wont be able to experience it much. So I would suggest you to spend at least 2days there. I couldn't spend time because I have more places to visit and now I have boarded to a train to my new destination. I wont tell you where but it will be good. Now I'm here in the train off to a new place to bring you new blog.

Guys siging off today. The trip continues. Stay tuned.

Thank you for reading.

Now I'm on instagram for new update follow my instagram page @soloxplorer16

Till then siging off. Everyone live your life to the fullest and never regret. 👋 see you next time

KAMAKHYA : DISCOVER THE SUPREME POWER

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 07:39:00 +0000

Nilachal hills : The home to divine.

First of all a very Happy Bihu to all my readers. I'm sorry guys I'm not able to write a separate blog on Bihu because of my exams. Please i beg your pardon for this. I'm really sorry readers. But today's blog is very close to my heart this is one of the most most significant religious place for Hindus in the entire North East India

. People from around the world visit here. I always wanted to write about Nilachal hills in a separate blog. Since today i visited the place so here I'm with a new blog. Writing about this place as it is close to my heart as me being Hindu by birth.

The journey.

Today I came from my place as it is quite far from Nilachal hills and being a bit far I took a cab and went there. There were my parents, brother and relatives waiting for me. And I would like to tell that I was not there to go there to the temple of Maa Kamakhya but to the temple of Bagla Maa. This is a tradition made by my family that we go to that temple every year after Rongali Bihu. So as per that tradition we went there. We offered puja there and prayed. Because we had vote in Guwahati today the people there are very less.

Maa Bagla temple

This temple is few hundred meters from Kamakhya and is according to my observation it is the biggest after the main Maa Kamakhya temple. This temple has very nice views from it. Many people dont even know this temple exist because most of the people visit Kamakhya devalaya and exhausted by the visit most people return from there. I would like to tell that you should this visit this temple not as a very religious person but the ancient architecture there is quite intriguing. Visit this temple if you visit Kamakhya Devalaya next time.

Kamakhya Devalaya.

This is the temple that makes Nilachal Hills so popular. People often call the hill as Kamakhya pahar(hill) . This is one of the ancient temples here in the state of Assam.

It was constructed at around 8-9th century AD. It has Maa Kamakhya as the primary deity in the and the temple wall is curved with several deities like Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Goddess Saraswati and various other Gods and Goddesses.

The craftsmanship of the place always make me feel mesmerized.

How our ansestors were so advanced in their craft. This place is said to have a part of Goddess Parvati have fallen here. It is believed that Goddess Parvati's genitalia fell there. That is the reason during the devine Amabachi Mela the temple door is kept close as it is believed that it the time of Goddess Parvati's mesnturation. This part fell here after it was dismembered by Lord Vishnu to save the world from Catstrophy of the universe by the anger of Lord Shiva.

View from Nilachal Hill.

This hill is one of the most visited hills in entire Guwahati city. And the view from here is breath taking. One cannot stay without getting awed by the sheer beauty of the views from the hill.

Sorry everyone again for late content but soon I will be doing blogs very frequently and i have a surprise for you so stay tuned.

Dont forget to subscribe .Please if you have some suggestions or some disputes with my blog please comment below. And also let me know your feedback how is it.

Hope you liked it.

Thank You very much of reading

See you next time.

Till then have a good life.

And very Happy Bihu to all my readers

HOLI IN GUWAHATI

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 13:40:00 +0000

HOLI IN GUWAHATI

First of all happy holi to everyone hope you enjoyed this holi well. I'm very sorry everyone I have not put forward any blogs for you. I'm really sorry for that. I have been preparing for my entrances which will come to an end only after that I would be able to bring blogs to you regularly. But now I'm mostly devoting my time to studies and not getting enough time to explore new places. But ones my exams get over I will be free to explore new places and bring you all more and more new places and exciting experience. So that you all can have an amazing time when visiting those places.

Now without wasting much time lets get started.

Today's holi was my first official holi in Guwahati although i have been living in Guwahati for last 3years but last two years either I was at home or at the time of holi of dint play holi as I was too lazy back then. But today since I'm living no more in a hostel and I'm free to go where ever I like. I too dint have any plans this year for holi I was too lazy to go out but my brother applied colour to me and then I was forced to pick myself up and then go out. I thought this as a great opportunity to bring you all the fun and excitement of holi.

FANCY BAZAAR

This was the place I went first.

I was planning to walk the whole of Guwahati but then I met my brother and his group and joined them. We went to Fancy bazaar and there was total festive atmosphere it was more like a rock concert.

Since in Fancy bazaar the rain dance

is the biggest in Guwahati this brings a huge crowd there. Had a great time there

dancing on the high bass beat.

Belle view

After dancing like crazy it was time for us to sit and relax.

After Fancy Bazaar we decided to go to Belle view. This place is one of my favorite in Guwahati as the view from here of the Brahmaputra is magnificent. The cool breeze of Mighty Brahmaputra

cooled us. There the people in our group started smashing eggs on the head of each other. Only couples were saved in that raw egg battle. Luckily i was among them who were saved. We chilled there for and hour along with the egg madness and playing holi. Then it was time for lunch.

Jorabat

By the time we left Belli view we were starving .

Then we headed to 9mile to have lunch but on the way the group broke up and they cancelled the plan. After that me and my brother went where we intended but then we thought of going to somewhere new so we decided to go to Brahmaputra Jungle Resort.

Visiting the place was great it is quite in the outskirts of the town. The views from there were mesmerizing. But it was smaller then I expected. But it was good the food was good and most importantly affordable . Not too expensive.

Back to Guwahati

On the way back to Guwahati since the sun was setting. We got to see a beautiful sunset.

That's all for this blog hope you enjoyed it. Ones again Happy Holi to everyone

THE BEAUTY OF GUWAHATI CITY

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Sun, 27 Jan 2019 16:55:00 +0000

The Sunday Fun in Guwahati

The first official outing/short day trip of 2019 from a few week I was thinking of going somewhere . My mind after the bad result of Jee mains paper 1 got so jam I thought no now I have to relax it. So I decided to visit the place where I was thinking from quite a long time now. Till yesterday night I was not sure I will go or waste my time in my room. But my friend too insisted that I should go and she too would go with me as she too wanted to go.

Now this was the back story and the reason why today I went outside. Now lets end the boring part and start with the places and the experiences that we had today.

The Deepor Beel

The journey started from Bhangaghar, Guwahati . At around 10:45am . And we hopped onto the bus and went till Jalukbari, Guwahati since today it was Sunday , traffic was quite less on the road. After Jalukbari, Guwahati we went to Rani a place on the suburban side of Guwahati on a tempo (magic) . Then we reached there by 11:45am . We both dint had breakfast so we both took some food on a nearby restaurant it was named Shanghai Restaurant. I cannot tell the place to be great but it was like OK place and compared to the other 'Chai dukans' it was quite clean and standard. After that we both hopped onto an e-rickshaw and reached.

Afternoon at Deepor Beel

I would tell you earlier. Don't get onto the e-rickshaw if the rickshaw is empty and there are not many passenger to go to Deepor Beel. I suggest you take a cab to go there as I paid 100bucks on e-rickshaw but while returning the cab charged only 90bucks.

Beautiful Nature

So I would not suggest you to go on e-rickshaw. After we reached the beauty of the place just awwed us. The place is so beautiful , the natural landscape along with the beel(lake) in front of us it is just mesmerizing. The place is a very known picnic spot for the people from the city and outside too. It is bird scantury and the different migratory birds that come to the place are just breathtaking. There is an observation tower but I would tell you. You better go towards the electricity tower from there the view is like 'paisa wasul' the money and time took to reach there was worth it.

Cool shade

The train line across the road from the observation tower gives a different and cool vibe to the place. The place is truly beautiful. Any nature lover would love the place no doubt on that. The place do have places where you can eat some food like Parathas, Pithas, and some local food. Tea stalls are in few there and you can even drink coconut water as there are people selling it.

The beauty of Depoor Beel

And in summer the number of coconut water sellers also increase. So this place is a complete natural wonder . I suggest everyone to visit this place at least ones. So that you can be close to Mother Nature.

Dr Bhupen Hazurika Samadhikshetra:

After returning from Deepor Beel this was the place where we opted to visit.

This was one of the place where I thought of visiting but due to urgency I could never visit the place. This place is right on the busy junction hub of road on Jalukbari, Guwahati near Guwahati University East gate.

This place is made beautifully to pay a tribute to the legendary singer and the pride of our Land Dr. Bhupen Hazurika. His contribution to the Assamese music and representation of Assam in a global scale any thing done for him is less but the tribute is a quite magnificent way to show the gratitude towards the Late. Legend .

The place is quite beautifully built, it has running fountains, statue of Late. Dr Bhupen Hazurika, an artificial waterfall, a huge Museum and garden. This place is very good to bring kids who can learn about the legacy of this great man. The Museum is the central and most prominent structure of the Samdhikshetra.

The architecture of the Museum is very beautiful and catches your attention instantly. Inside the museum there stays the pictures of the life of the Legendary Singer it is 2 storied but on the top the showcases are left empty.

This thing disappointed me a bit on the whole place.

I wondered a Legend like him don't have things that can be displayed there or can't they make something to show the love towards the Legend.

The best part of the place is that it is free to enter . On a whole this place is one should always put in to the Bucket list .Whenever they are traveling to Guwahati.

Kite and River Festival

On the way back from the Samadhikshetra I remembered that from today we have the the 7th Jeevan kite and River festival.

Sunset in the kite and
River festival

The festival is held on Machkhoa , Guwahati river bank. So we went there the arrangement was quite good. I've never been to this festival before so I won't be able to say whether it was better or worse than last years . But what I saw according to that it is quite a place to visit. If you are in Guwahati you can visit the festival it will be going on till 31st of January and the entry fee is 20 bucks. The money is not the thing with that you will get an experience which you will remember for a long time.

The sunset at kite
Festival

There are kite stalls where you can buy a kite and relive your childhood as children today don't play with kites anymore like us back in our days. So bring your children here if you want them to see how magnificent it is and you too can relive your childhood. There are food stalls where you can binge. I didn't eat there so I'm not able to say whether it is cheap or not.

Evening at kite fest

But i think it won't be that cheap as stalls in this kind of festivals charge more than usual. But again eating at the bank of Brahmaputra on the river sand how many times will you get the opportunity. So I would insist that everybody please visit this festival if you are in Guwahati . I say you won't regret it. But one thing think before you bring your car if you do so your car can get stuck on the river sand as I saw two cars got stuck on the sand while entering as well as while leaving.

So that's all for today guys hope you like it.

TOP 6 SHOPPING DESTINATION IN GUWAHATI- SHOPPING IN GUWAHATI

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Mon, 21 Jan 2019 08:55:00 +0000

Top 6 Shopping destination in Guwahati - Shopping in Guwahati

Guwahati being the Gateway of North East India and the biggest town in North East India have a lot of places for shopping. It is natural that if you are going to some places you will be getting indulged in this activity called shopping. I personally like shopping at a new place as it let's me to know about the people and the things that are used by the locals. And knowing the places for shopping is a key. If you are here in Guwahati and go in this places for shopping I hope you will be pleased and will buy a lot of things for your friend, family and yourself too.

(Disclaimer : All the places that I'm saying here are totally my choice and no company or business firm have not paid me to write about them)

The following places are my suggestions to all my shopping readers to visit ones if they are Guwahati:

Fancy Bazaar

This is the largest market place in entire North East India. Fancy bazaar is a shopping Paradise for people who are looking for good product and has the talent to bargain prices it is a win-win for them . This place has to offer you a large variety of things ranging from electronics ,clothes, utensils, street food, footwear, organic flowers and many more. I would like to warn you earlier itself if you are weak at bargaining this place can take of your money. But there are places in fancy bazaar too where you can find hardcore stuff with less of your money stripped from you . I personally go to that place whenever I get time to visit Fancy Bazaar. You cannot search this place in Google map as the road is not added. But you can search for Kamarpatti Masjid in Google maps or you can reach the Gurudwara In fancy bazaar and go towards North and the Mosque that you find at your right after walking for like 15m you can go through the narrow passage and see the magnificence of the place. You can find cheap things there. And I would try to add the road in google then you can search right away in Google.

You can reach this place by Bus if you are coming from Khanapara, Guwahati take the bus then land on Lakhtokia, Guwahati and you will reach the place. If from coming from Beltola side hop onto the bus and get down on Vishal ,Paltan Bazaar,Guwahati and if you are coming from Jalukbari, Guwahati side you can directly reach Fancy Bazar, Guwahati.

Ganeshguri

This place is quite smaller as compared to Fancy Bazaar, Guwahati considering its market size but it too have a substantial potential for a good shopper. This place is too for people who can bargain a lot. This place is rather good for a quick stop for you if looking for a quick shopping experiences.

You can see everything here ranging from clothes to footwear. Unlike Fancy Bazaar, Guwahati this is the connecting link in Guwahati you can get into any bus and reach this place except one that goes to Narengi. This place has a Vishal Mega Mart. And lots of local vendors. You can also buy hardware stuff in Ganeshguri, Guwahati.

Big Bazaar

This place is becoming the landmark of Bhangaghar, Guwahati now. This is one of the best place you want a supermarket experience. You can see its rush on sunday evening, During my time in the coaching I might have visited this place more than 100times. You can get all your needs in this one place. They have everything I don't think so i have to say alot about Big Bazaar everyone knows about it but still if some people who don't know. It has products ranging from clothes to food electronics to stationary they started providing bicycles too.

I personally love this place. But this place is not ultra cheap which will be coming later in the blog so keep reading. You can reach here by bus no 13 and 02 up or down . This is right into the heart of Bhangaghar,Guwahati . I hope you like the visit here. There is only one Big Bazaar in Guwahati.

Vishal Mega Mart

There are four of this bad boys in the Guwahati. One in Paltan Bazar, Guwahati(the largest and the oldest) ,another at Ganeshguri, Guwahati, another one in Bamunimaidan, Guwahati and the last smallest and newest one in Kalapahar, Guwahati. This place is a big daddy if you say of cheap things. There are cheap clothes cheap household things just like Big Bazaar, Guwahati clothes, stationary, electronics it just lacks the bicycle.

If you are a single guy living in a rent this place is your heaven, I personally bought a lot of things for my rent at my time in Guwahati. The only downside is that the quality. The quality is OK but not like high class. If you are looking for cheap 'jugadu' Things you can use in day to day life and you have to save your pocket money this place is your saviour. But if you want good quality things here hardly you would find something. Still this place is worth your time. I would recommend you to visit this place there are three of them so you can visit any one of them. You can get into any city bus of Guwahati to reach there directly except buses to Narengi, Guwahati.

Brand Factory

This place might have the largest collection of fashion according to my knowledge after Guwahati Central. This is a branch of the Future Group the firm which run both Big Bazaar and the Central chain. It has a lot of variety in terms of the quantity of the clothes that it has to offer. This place being at the heart of the Guwahati, city is not much popular to tourist and people who are new to Guwahati. I think its location is the biggest culprit followed by lack of marketing and its placement as it is hard to notice at the fast glance in the Guwahati concrete jungle. You can reach by aging the same buses that you need to reach Big Bazaar ,Bus no 02 & 13 .

It is located behind the Lachit Nagar, Guwahati Hanuman Mandir . I would recommend you all to visit this place if you are looking for branded clothes .

Guwahati Central

This place is quite misunderstood to Central Mall, Guwahati . But I would like to clarify that Central Mall, Guwahati and Guwahati Central are totally different and are located on two different places in Guwahati . Central mall, Guwahati is a mall with lots of store within it. Guwahati central might be largest supermarkets for fashion in Guwahati. It has a enormous collection of clothes, footwear and accessories. This is a premium place but also offers alot of discount.

Anyone looking for branded stuff I insist you to visit this place. It is 3 floor jam packed with fashion goodness. The ground floor houses the western wear for ladies, watches, perfumes and cosmetics. The second floor houses ladies footwear, ladies ethnics wears, ladies lingerie and handbags. The third floor is for men it has casual wear for men, sports wears and footwear for men. The third and final floor contains formal clothes for men, underwear, pajama, formal footwear, and kids section.

That all guys for today this are my top suggestions for you to go shopping in Guwahati city. If you have anything to say about my blog please feel free to write in the comment section.

JEE IN GUWAHATI DURING BHARAT BANDH

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 09:18:00 +0000

JEE in Guwahati during Bharat Bandh

Yesterday (8/01/2019)

I was too appearing for the JEE mains like many other students. I will tell you my incidents what happends before and after the exam.

Pre Exam Scenarios

I came to know about this Bandh before hand thankfully. So for that reason I decided that I will go to my friends place in Guwahati, Azara . I went there a day before the exam . But the journey there 'oh boy' it was not an easy one . Because of the bandh the private city buses of Guwahati were not running and only the govt. city buses of Guwahati were on the road. But the bus stand was flooded with people . It was like 3 times the people than normal that are seen in typical Guwahati bus stand. I waited there and buses packed with people passed and some people were like just barely attached their body with one foot on the bus and hand grabbing some part of the bus. Lucky a city bus came in and stopped and the people decreased from the bus and I hopped onto the city bus and it got full to its brim again. I was worried about my wallet nothing else as it had my pan card and my admit card . So I took the wallet and kept it in my hand and people there were like literally crushing each other. But luckily after reaching Manipuri Basti, Guwahati I saw a man getting out of his seat so I was like determined that I will get that seat because if I stand there for too long I was bound to get crushed. So finally I got an small opening and hopped onto the seat. The bus was also going at very lazy pase . It was around 7:30pm after painstakingly doing the journey in Adabari, Guwahati again the bus stopped for refueling but that time I was like no it won't be I can't wait this long so I walked till Jalukbari, Guwahati and then I hopped onto a tempo and reached my friend's place at Azara, Guwahati . Then the night was good we had some biriyani along with rice. And studied a bit for the exam.

Now yesterday it was exam time. I thought that exam will be starting from like 12:30 pm but when I saw the time it was from 2:30pm and the gate infact the closing time was at 2:00pm . So I thought even if I have to walk I will take around one hour for me to reach there. But my friend said that he would borrow a friends scooty and drop me at the exam center . But his friend denied as there were incidents where the protesters threw stones at the vehicles and even burnt at some places. "I can totally understand his mindset , I too might have done the same thing at that situation". And I thought the place might be strict so I like a big idiot went there just wearing just a t shirt, a jeans and hawai chapel. I left my friends place at around 1:06pm but I was not able to walk at my general speed as the pant was loose and I was wearing hawai chapels after a long time. I was still trying to go as fast as I can but it was not taking me that far at the speed required. So thought of asking for lift but few of them just brushed me off. Then a man came I asked if he was going the same way. He said that he will go till Azara Godhuli Bazaar, Guwahati I said ok fine if it is even 100m that I don't have to walk its good. So I hopped on his bike . He asked where I was heading to I said him my condition and he asked me where is my center for the exam. I said the place's name and he dropped me there till the exam centre despite of the dangers. He was like the real messenger send by God to me at my time of distress. Since I din't have the mobile with me I took his phone number on the cover of my geometry box. But unfortunately during exam time the cover had to be torn to check the geometry box and with that that number was also gone. I hope that I can meet that man and thank him in a better way which I was not able to do as I was in hurry for my exam.

Luckily my exam was decent and I will credit it to that man because if he might have not been there I might have not reach the exam centre.

Post exam scenarios

After the exam when I walked out of the exam centre I saw that there was facility to keep our bags. I was so pissed at myself, I think I was the only in there with that attire. I was feeling so cold there . When I walked out of the gate I saw tempos standing there I thought the bandh is over. But they were waiting for passenger I was feeling cold so I started walking and thought that I will get some vehicle on the way but none of the tempos were coming and few of them which passes were with full passengers so I couldn't get onto those. After walking for like 1km then I saw a tempo and waved my hand to stop him. He pulled right the side of the road and I asked him will he be going to Azara, Guwahati or not he said yes . In delight I hopped onto the auto and reached my friends place in no time. I thought now the city buses might be running in the city. So packed ASAP and headed towards the city. But there too after waiting around half an hour I got a tempo. I hopped onto it and thought my troubles were over. But I was quite wrong. It was around 6:30 when I reached Jalukbari . I got down from the tempo and saw that there was no trace of any city bus. I have called my friend earlier and he said that city buses were running at that time . So I came but now there was nothing. I was puzzled what to do so I thought I might be able to get bus at Adabari,Guwahati bus stand but there too no buses were about to leave all of those were standing ideally. So I thought that getting a Rapido will help but it was too costly till my place. So I thought a friend place at Silpukhuri, Guwahati might help. So I called the Captain (Rapido Rider) said he won't be going till Silpukhuri, Guwahati . I tried again but this time too it got connected to the same Captain. So I kept walking and trying but there was no progress at all. Now it was around 7:35pm I was walking and trying to get a Captain but no one accepted my request. Till then I had reached Maligaon charali, Guwahati . Then I checked the distance it showed 8.5km I was like no I cannot cover this distance on foot and reach at proper time. It would be like more than 9:00pm to reach . So luckily i got an auto and asked till where he would go he said "Paltan Bazar " .I said "ok its fine" . But he informed me that he would take 20bucks I was like jumping in joy inside. I said "ok! ok! let's go". So I got down at Food villa and then walked till Silpukhuri and reached my friends place at around 8:30pm.

Today too I expected to get the bus easily but buses were so scarce I walked from my friends place to Post Office (Mizoram house) then I got a bus where I could set my foot. There were buses but if I would have got onto them I would be got crushed. But finally I reached my room safe and sound.

Ok friends that all for today. I wanted to share you my incident and my feelings. Sorry friend no photos this time since i din't carry my phone. And after the exam it was dark so please forgive me for that🙇.

Bye everyone take care. See you next time on my blog.

PLEASE PRAY FOR MY RESULT 😂

5 LESSER KNOWN PLACES GUWAHATI

noreply@blogger.com (Solo explorer ) — Thu, 27 Dec 2018 12:49:00 +0000

Guwahati on foot

5 Lesser known places

Guwahati also called the 'Gateway of Northeast' is the largest city in the North Eastern part of India. I'm calling it city but people from bigger actual cities will feel it more as a town. Since I'm from this area for me this is a city and since I have not been to any other big city other then Kolkata so please don't expect that I will put forward some comparison. Moreover this is my experience here in this city which have experienced here while walking on the streets of this city.

Places you should consider

I'm not going to tell you the conventional places like the great Maa Kamyakha temple, Digholi Pukhuri, Kalakshetra etc. But I will tell about you some of the little places which you will enjoy visiting . Which I found interesting while I was exploring the city. While I walked the city.

This are the few places that you should should consider:

Machkhowa Brahmaputra Bank:

This place is quite under looked but this place is magnificent. If you visit this place at late afternoon then it is great . The sunset here is just breath taking. The view of the hills, the silhouette of the Saraighat Bridge gives a very great touch to this magnificent scenic beauty of the place. I'm quite positive either you are a single or in a couple both kind of the people will like it. The best part is this place can be reached free. You can reach the place easily by foot from Fancy Bazaar its around 750 m from there. To get to the better place you can enter through the entry of Alfresco Grand cruiser there is better as it allows outsiders and it has quite a long stretch of bank so you can enjoy the walk . If you want to experience the Brahmaputra from its heart you can get onto a cruiser too. This place is highly recommended not only to visitors but also people from Guwahati too as many people don't consider this place.

Assam State Museum : I visits this place quite often and all the time I'm so intrigued by looking at our past our great history. This place is quite under looked . It is great if you are looking for the past and the way of life of the people who lived in the region. This place in spite of being so cheap at 5 bucks an adult still it has so less visitors. But I highly recommend this place to all of my readers, as it gives you the inside knowledge . The Museum is a three storied building in the left side of the ground floor it shows the magnificent and beautiful monolithic stone sculptures.( I personally have a question if anyone visits there "Can you tell me the reason why some of the Brahmin's eyebrows that resemble Asian eyebrows like those of Mongolian race others have more curved like that of Aryan race?"If anyone knows please tell me in the comment section). OK now on the right side of the first floor first it houses war weapons from late medieval to World War II and then in the more interior you have stone carvings, coins and lot more and on the right on the first floor you can find the palm scriptures. On the first floor of central part you will see something which reminds me of my grandparents home during my childhood. It is a model village it quite accurately represented. And a lot of other things I don't wanna tell all the parts and spoil the surprise factor now its up to you you can visit this place. Reaching this place is quite easy it is quite sure that you will visit the Digholi Pukhuri . To reach the Assam State Museum you just have to cross the road from its Southern gate and Ta-da you reached the Museum.

Sati Radhika Shaanti Udyan: This is another place on the bank of the mighty Brahmaputra unlike the Machkhowa River Bank it has places to seat. This place is mostly known by locals. This place has very beautiful views and it has trees which is what makes it ideal place to visit during summer. This place is quite popular among couples. If you are visiting as a couple you must visit this place. You can reach this place within a 10 minute walk from Digholi Pukhuri you just have to take one left one right and one more right then walk straight until you reach the place at a slight right. If you are walking out of the Southern gate and walk left the above will be applicable.

GMCH HILL TOP Road:

This is a magnificent view point on the Hilly road of GMCH this place has many places from where you can see the Guwahati city. Visit this place at night you can see the beautiful glittering city which will baffle your mind and you would love this place . If you fear heights, then still this place won't scare you as it doesn't have much steep falls so you won't feel much as the rise is gradual. I would recommend to visit this place alone, so that you can feel its peacefulness but if you have a friend or girlfriend/boyfriend still this place is very great. You can reach this place just by walking from GMCH straight towards the hill there is only on road. And for those who don't know what is GMCH it is Guwahati Medical Collage Hospital.

Gandhi Mandap:

This place houses the third tallest national flag in India. This place doesn't only have the flag but as the name suggest Gandhi Mandap so it has a big Statue of the 'Father Of Our Nation' Mahatma Gandhi it has dedicated museum for the great man. This place is on the top of Sarania hill. I won't recommend you to visit this place on foot unless you are a walking freak like me as this would leave your feet hurting you for the next day or two. But if you can walk up the hill then you will have two experiences at ones one on reaching the place and one on the journey to the top. The view from the Gandhi Mandap is magnificently cool . You can see almost see the entire Guwahati city but unluckily visiting this place at night is bit problematic but still if you manage to visit at night you can see the magnificence of the city, first hand. Unlike the GMCH hill top road I would recommend you to go with someone if you are walking up the hill. As it will cut the journey stress and enjoy the beauty . But this place is not recommended for people with fear of heights. You can reach this place by walking through the South Sarania Hill road it will swirl you to your destination.

And many more

Guide for walking on foot

Since love walking I will like to give you readers some tips that will help you to enjoy the beauty of a place from the closest way possible . As nothing can make you more close to the place then walking through the place you can actually experience much more then it meets the eyes. But walking on foot for all over the city is not not possible . Still you can take a public transport and reach popular landmarks like Digholi Pukhuri , Fancy Bazaar etc.

Tips on exploring on feet:

Keep GPS handy. Keep your smart phone with bit of charge on it.
Find the shortest route possible not only the suggestion by google but also by analysis the map itself.
Always ask the shopkeepers not the pedestrians if you want some help . You never know what are the intentions of that person and moreover shopkeepers are generally locals so they have better knowledge about the place.
Try to avoid exploring new roads at late night especially when you are alone. Because safety is the priority. You may end up into some problem.
Try to notice the small details that are there. So that you can experience the magic of the place. Try to feel the culture that have evolved in the city.
Keep your phone/camera handy so that you can click some breath taking pictures capturing the raw essence of the place.

My story exploration on feet :

I was not always that of a exploring junkie like this. Actually at my early teen I was quite a person who would stay at home and do my studies. But when I came to Guwahati to do coaching after my intermediate like other students of since aspiring to be something in future but after attending few classes it seemed quite boring and one day I thought of bunking the class and see for myself how is life outside. I bunked the class that day and I went under a flyover and sat there. I didn't have anything to do so I sat there more than a couple of hours and my mind too was quite jumbled up thinking about the future what will happen to my life and all those things. But while sitting there I saw an old man laying by the on the pavement . I saw that man was quite dirty too but I didn't judge him rather I just imagined one thing that changed my perspective to see the world. I thought that we are from well to do families and we think we have so much worries in life our future. In this peruse of our life we forget how people are surviving and are happy with so little things we are quite lucky. If we move pass the people without noticing them their life the way these people live their life from that day and don't learn from them how happiness is not with materialistic things. I felt at that place how lucky and now I admire my life rather then just wishing to be something that will be in future. We should think of future but not so much that it consume our present . So this is my conclusion hope you like it.

" Notice the path not the destination because destination is seen by everyone but noticing the path and appreciating it is done by very less".

"So walk as much as you can, as long as you can and feel the place equally".

" I didn't say you should bunk your class but it was my story"
