It’s the time of the year when complete
Himalayan ranges are covered in thick snow. The trees and water streams also
have visually great effects of low temperature. Its tranquility and serenity is
beyond any comparison which will definitely tempt an adventure lover.
Walking on a trail covered in thick snow beds is quite an experience
but challenging too. It is not as easy as it looks. It is difficult to
balance on ice and specially taking steps in deep snow which takes
double energy of a trekker. Such treks are usually done after
mid-January up till March as the snow and temperature is just accurate
for a winter trek. But if one really wants to try a winter trek then
below are some ‘not so difficult’ treks. Just a little practice,
fitness, and proper guidance are required.

first-timers. It is a wonderful visual treat to a nature lover where the
whole journey has beautiful scenery to adore. The best view of this

This trek starts from Joshimath to Dhak and passes through small
villages to reach the pass. But while returning back this tour diverts
to the famous skiing region of India, Auli and reaches to Joshimath. It
is an interesting and fun trek to try at least once
3. Dodital & Dwara Top:
The most loved, double destination trek, Dodital & Dwara Top is an
amazing experience of winter trek for new trekkers. Dodital (3310 m) is
an amazing lake area that is surrounded by beautiful Himalayas and holds
a perfect place for overnight camping. Likewise, the trek to Dwara Top

Dayara Bugyal is an amazing winter trek. It starts from Barsu village in

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has changed the world upside down.
There has been a ‘new normal’ in 2021 since a majority of people started
going back to their previous routines. This new lifestyle includes many
precautions, care and some rules like social distancing, night curfew
and most importantly mask. The Indian government has taken and
implemented all possible rules especially when it came to travelling.
Initially, in 2020, travelling was not allowed at all but gradually
in a later year, people restarted their life, leisure travelling also
started. The airlines, railways and hotels all have their safety guidelines for travellers
but there are many safety measures that the travellers also have to
take. Though some people are still waiting for the vaccine things don’t
happen overnight. So, now people who are travelling have to take all
possible precautions, before and after travel. Like the ones mentioned
below:
safely travel during the covid-19
Before Travel:
Check the COVID Rate: Whichever is your
destination you must check the current COVID rate of that particular
city or town. If the place has less or no impact at all then you can at
least roam around and refresh your mind from lockdown of past months.
Look for Safe Mode of Transport:
You can choose to fly or drive as per your chose destination. Though
absolute safety measures are being taken by the airlines and railways if
the destination can be covered through road then you must hire or drive
a personal car. In this case, at least the safety will be in your own
hand.
Choose a safe place to stay: A holiday
is majorly about a safe and relaxing stay which has just a perfect
mattress to sleep and a wonderful balcony view. But in COVID times we
need a safe and hygienic place so just look for the best one.
Plan with travel agents: If you are looking for an assured safety throughout the vacation without any hassle then you must plan your trip withtravel agents. It is their duty to provide you with the best and safest options whether it is for stay, transport or anything.
SAFE AIR TRAVELS IN IND WITH SHIKHAR TRAVELS
During Travel:
Wash Hands or Sanitize: The most basic and
easiest measure one can take is keeping the hands clean while
travelling. This has been said even for any kind of problem that hands
are the foremost carrier of any kind of virus. So, carry a sanitizer or
paper-soap throughout the journey.
Social Distancing:
If you are travelling through plane or train then this is definitely
for you. In this situation, we don’t have any idea about the person
standing next to in queue whether he is infected or not so better to
keep 2 meters distance and stay safe.
Watch-out while sneezing or coughing:
Another habit that one must adapt in life is to cover up while sneezing
and coughing. The microdroplets are the ones that carry the virus and
can spread the virus. It is not that you have it but why not to take the
habit forever just for hygiene.
Carry your own:
During travel, there are many things that are required like soaps,
tissues, water and special food. At this time, try to take packed food
or home-cooked food as it will save you from random sittings and crowded
area.
Sanitize your Area
After Travel:
Sanitize your belongings: After the long and
exciting vacation try to sanitize all your things as a virus can come in
any form on anything so why to take a risk!
Isolation:
Last but most important, if you have an elderly family member or young
children at home then prefer distance from them at least for a week. As
your vacations should have all great memories.
Chardham Tour – A
Journey towards tranquillity and peace is the most supreme journey
ever. Irrespective of Age, Color, Language, and Gender there is a place
that treats everyone equally and that’s the abode of God. If you ever
want to slacken your mind do pay heed to the light and voice that is
within you and the wonder is, it will bring you closer to God every
moment and every second.
If we are a traveler or someone bound with 9 to 6 jobs, if we are
holding a business or serving the country we should never forget our
roots our ideology and our spirituality, let me take you to the wonder
of “Char Dham Yatra” an experience that will always be close to your
heart and soul.
Let’s begin the chapter with a deep dive into the history of our Char Dham which includes Badrinath (North), Dwarka (West), Jagannath Puri (East), and Rameshwaram
(South). To let you apprise more about its history – the formation of
this holy pilgrimage circuit is credited to one of the greatest
philosophers Adi Sankara being famed as Shankaracharya.
We will aid you with all these Four Abodes in brief serially. Hope we let you have a virtual journey hereby: Chardham Yatra Package
BADRINATH :
Badrinath Temple lies in Badrinath town in Chamoli district which is
situated in Uttarakhand, this town Badrinath attains its name from the
state Badrinath itself. It is situated alongside a headstream of the
Holy Ganges. Amidst the cold breeze and shivering wind we are blessed to
have Tapt Kund a hot spring on the bank of Alaknanda,
not only we can shred away cool breeze but also it’s considered holy to
take a dip inside. The blessings of Badrinath has been really strong and
prevalent for ages.
Badrinath Temple
It is believed that Shankar discovered a black stone image
of Lord Badrinarayan made of Saligram stone in the Alaknanda River and he
enshrined it in the cave new Tapt Kund but as time escaped the King of Garhwal
moved the Holy Murti to the present Temple.
Thousands of devotees keep coming to the temple every year
to get the blessings and find their inner peace, they witness the serenity and
blessings in air around Holy Badrinath Temple.
DWARKA:
Dwarka temple is devoted to Lord Krishna. The
2.25 feet heighted idol of Lord Krishna appears so endearing that the devotees
gets their heart and soul dissolved at the very moment they are there, the
temple and the place has 2500 years old history to disclose to it’s
devotees. It is believed that after leaving Mathura Lord Krishna established
his Kingdom in Dwarka on the banks of River Gomti. And his essence since then
is so much dissolved in the air that people till now can feel his presence and
it is inescapable for them to worship and bow their head down before Lord
Krishna.
Dwarakadhisa Temple
It is said and believed that after Lord Krishna left the
earth, the city of Dwarka got submerged in the sea and that the city was
rebuilt over more than 6 times. Isn’t it less than a wonder in itself, these
sacred stories are so much alluring that no one can halt the thought of
visiting such a sacred place.
It’s a hope and desire of every spiritual heart to pay heed
to this place once in their lifetime.
JAGANNATH PURI
The moment we hear about Jagannath Puri our mind stretches to the
famous Jagannath Yatra which is the annual Rath Yatra (Chariot Festive)
in which we have three principal deities which are heavily ornamented
and pulled on huge beautifully decorated cars.
Jagannath Temple
Shree Jagannath Temple is dedicated to Jagannath, a form of Lord
Vishnu. One thing which most of the devotees find remarkable is that the
idol of Jagannath is made up of wood and it ceremoniously gets replaced
every 12 or 19 years by the exact replica, so no stone no metal it’s
the wood in its purest form! To pen down about its location, it is situated in Puri which is a state in Odisha on the eastern coast of India.
RAMESHWARAM
Rameshwaram temple is dedicated to God Shiva. It is one of the twelve
jyotirlinga temples thus here God Shiva is worshipped in the form of
jyotirlinga which means “pillar of light”. What makes the temple mark
it’s different is that it has the longest corridor among all Hindi
Temples in India.
Rameshwaram temple
As per the ancient Hindu Scriptures (the Puranas),
Lord Rama along with his wife Sita and younger brother Laxman worshipped the
lingam here, lingam is an iconic symbol of Shiva. This worship was offered upon
the advice of sages to expiate the sin of Brahmahatya incurred while killing of
the Brahmin Ravana. That’s how remarkable and astonishing the chronicle of the
temple is!
Rameshwaram temple is situated in Tamil Nadu, it is on Pamban Island separated from mainland India by the Pambal channel.
The Recognition for these Four Abodes is never-ending, there is an
unfaltering anecdote about them, our belief will always be persistent
and our approbation towards them will keep on growing and rising.
The words, the stories or the expressions are not enough, to find out
the glory of these ancient temples and the beautiful abode of God one
must visit these places, you will be touched with the sublime of the
aura of these places! There is something that will make you feel more
relieved, more sparkling, and much more spirited.. It is going to be a
true blessing and a lifetime experience!!!
