एक अनाड़ी घुमक्कड.

एक अनाड़ी घुमक्कड.।।

2012 मैं मेने अपनी पहली यात्रा शुरू करी थी, मन मे डर बहुत था पानी से डर , उचाई से डर, लोगों कि भीड़ से डर, अंधेरे से डर और पता नहीं कितने डर और कभी कभी खुद को खोने का डर। 

एक दिन बस यु ही बिना कुछ सोचे समझे बस घर वालो को कहा मुझे वेष्णो देवी जाना है। मेने फोन पर हि बताया ( मैं उस समय इंदौर मे था और मेरा परिवार वहाँ से 250km दुर) और बस मे इंदौर से निकल गया अपनी bajaj Discover 100 cc. मोटर सायकल से और वो सफर 30 April 2012 से जो शुरू हुआ वो आज तक चल रहा है. मै via mandsaur, chittorgarh, udaipur, jaipur होते हुए दिल्ली पहुच गया. और यह बात न घर वालों को पता थी न दोस्तों को , मोटरसाइकिल कि अब हालत 1000km मै हि खराब हो चुकी थी।

मोटरसाइकिल दिल्ली मे एक पुराने दोस्त के पास रखी और वहाँ से रेलवे स्टेशन पहुच गया वहाँ कुछ लोग अमरीतसर कि बातें कर रहे थे , और बस ठान लिया कि मुझे भी जाना है कुछ घंटो के इंतज़ार के बात रेल आई टिकट हाथ मे था और डर इतना था मानो मे कोई गलत काम करने जा रहा हु या कुछ हि देर मे मेरी परुक्षा कि रिजल्ट आने वाला हैं।
डरते डरते रेल मे बेठा और अमरीतसर पहुँच गया पुरे सफर मे किसी से बात नहीं करी और जब अम्रीतसर पहुच गया वहाँ गुरुद्वारे मे 2 दिन रहने के बाद कुछ लोगों से बात करी तो बहुत कुछ सिखने को मिला उनमें से एक को मेने अपनी कहानी सुनाई उन्हें बहुत अच्छा लगा फिर उन सरदार जी ने कुछ नंबर दिये और कहा कि बिना डरे बस निकल जाऔ और कोई दिक्कत आये तो इन लोगों को फोन करना ये आपकी मदद करेंगे। 

फिर मेरा एक दोस्त BSF मे है उसका नंबर मेने एक दोस्त से लिया और उससे जब बात करी तब पता लगा कि उसकी पोस्टिंग जम्मू मे है यह सुनते हि थोडी हिम्मत आई।
जम्मू पहुच कर मेरे फोजी दोस्त से मिला उसके साथ 4 दिन जम्मू मे रहा पहली बार बहुत सारे फोजीयो से मिला. सबसे बाते करी और सबको फिर से मेरी कहानी सुनाई. सब बडे खुश हुए सबने अपने अपने experience share किये सबसे बातें करते करते पता चला लेह लद्दाख के बारे मे और बस उन फोजी भाइयों और मेरे दोस्त कि मदद से आर्मी के ट्रक से निकल पड़ा एक अनोखे सफर पर.
और मै सब फोजी भाईयो के अलग अलग reference से, श्रीनगर, द्रास, कारगिल, लेह और पत्थरसाहिब सभी जगह अकेला घुमा और हर जगह आर्मी केंप मे रूखा उनके साथ हि खाना खाया.
इतना घुमने के बाद तो मानो मेरे पंख उग गये थे और मुझे लग रहा था कि मे पहाड़ों मे उड़ रहा हु।
वहाँ से वापस जम्मू आया वहाँ से आखीरकार BSF के VIP पास से वेष्णो देवी माँ के दर्शन किए.
वहाँ हे वापस जम्मू ।।

और अब मे आपको बता दु कि मै अब न अनाड़ी था न डरपोक अब तो मै सिर्फ एक घुम्मकड़ बन चुका था।।
लोगों से नए नए Reference मिलने का सिलसिला चलता रहा और मे वहाँ से पठानकोठ पहुच गया फिर धर्मशाला , मेकलोडगंज, कसोल, पालमपुर, शीमला, चंडीगढ़, करनाल और जहाँ जहाँ से लौगो का बुलावा आ रहा था मेरा सफर उसी हिसाब से चल रहा था।
और अब तो बुलावा जौशीमठ से आ चुका था तो फिर क्या था मैं उत्तराखंड कि यात्रा पर निकल गया।।
इस पुरी 45 दिनों कि यात्रा से मुझे एन नया जन्म मिल चुका था. सब कुछ बदल गया था.

इस पुरे सफर मे सफसे ज्यादा साथ BSF के मेरे फोजी भाईयों का मिला उनके बिना शायद ये मुमकिन नहीं था।।
और उसके बाद उन सब लोगो का जिदंगी भर आभारी रहुगा जिन्होंने मुझे invitation दिया और मेरी हर संभव मदद करी
45 दिनों कि यात्रा कि कहानी पांच मिनट मे सुनाना थोडा मुश्किल है लेकिन जितने विस्तार मे सुना सकता था मेने पुरी कोशिश करी।।

Don't be a tourist, be a traveller.

Don't be a tourist, be a traveller.

The difference between a Tourist and a Traveller is same as that between Sympathy and Empathy.

Being a traveller is just awesome. A traveller gets to explore new places, experience different things, make memories, make new friends and much more.

He isn't a tourist who visits a place, stays there for a while and returns back.

A traveller is one who enjoys the tiniest molecule of air, feels the vibe of that place.

But a traveller is always ready to face hard times. It may happen that, he goes low on money or can't afford to buy food. There may come many moments where he has to make a choice between his basic needs. But a traveller is one who knows to make, even such moments, an Adventure.
In short, life of a traveller is full of Adventures and Experiences.
Keep travelling friends...

Chadar Trek Package 2017

Chadar Trek India

The frozen Zanskar river served and still serves as the traditional and only way of connect between Leh and Zanskar for the locals in the harsh winter months of Ladakh. Its being used by the locals for centuries. The documentary of National Geographic Channel first brought this journey of the locals to the outside world and since then Chadar - The Frozen River Trek has hit the popularity burst. Its rated as one of the best treks existing in the planet by many.

 

The Zanskar river is big and fast-flowing. For most of its length between Chilling and the Zanskar valley the river is confined within a steep canyon. If the idea of walking over frozen river ice with a large pack on your back and very cold rushing water a few inches below your feet is terrifying, then you are not alone. People sometimes die on the Chadar trek, usually local porters who carry goods on the river for their livelihood and can't afford to be conservative. The hike from Chilling to the Zanskar valley takes more than a week, and at night porters usually sleep in caves in the canyon walls.

This trek is considered as one of the most exciting and unique treks – a very special and an extraordinary trek on shiny ice on the bank of Tsarap River. You will be dropped by a vehicle at Chilling Sumdo (crossed road) then your trek leads in a narrow valley filled with breath-taking views of ice-peaks and unexpected hanging icicles that will attract your gaze for some time. You will spend the night at cave camps with the help of a born fire that will keep you warm and relaxed.

                                         

daily trek begins at around 9:00am and by then the sun's up and blue skies bring cheer despite the cold temperatures. The trek goes along the Tsarap River in the region of Nyerag, Lingshed and constitutes to Zanskar!

                              

Needless to say, having a good guide is critical on the Chadar trek. Trekking on the ice was intimidating. A covering of snow made it difficult to assess its thickness. At times we had to walk along a narrow margin of ice, constrained by the canyon wall on one side and deep rushing water on the other. Slipping in or falling through would not just be cold; it could be fatal. The water was deep and fast, and you would likely be swept under the ice in seconds.

For better or worse, the Chadar trek is an endangered activity and within 5 years will cease to exist in it's current form. A road is currently being blasted out of the rock face above the river. When completed, winter access to the Zanskar valley villages in the interior will be relatively straight-forward. The road will certainly be safe and more convenient than the river, but its completion will mark the end of an ancient local practice.

The ‘Chadar’ is a perfect example of this resourcefulness of the Ladakhis and their indomitable spirit, in the face of such daunting odds. The term ‘Chadar’ means blanket in the local language, thereby giving an indication to the nature of this whole experience. Large sections of the river Zanskar, which is one of the mightiest rivers in Ladakh, freeze over in the dead of winter and are covered by a thick blanket of ice. This frozen blanket or ‘Chadar’ is the only way in and out for Zanskaris in winter, when the road and various other caravan routes are closed due to heavy The icy wonderland of the ‘Chadar trek’ snowfall blocking the high passes. It has been their traditional trade route in winter for Centuries. The seven to eight days walk from chilling to Padum is both challenging as well as an incomparably exiting experience. The landscape aquires a pristine grandeur in winter as the trail enters into the gorge of the Zanskar, where temperatures sometimes drop to –30 to - 35 Degree Celsius.

How to Reach

By Air :- 
Flying over miles and miles of heavily snowed mountains will tell you just why it’s impossible to reach Ladakh by road in the winters. Jet Airways, Air India and Go Air provide daily (once every day) flight service between New Delhi and Leh. However if you plan a trip to this area of the country, you must try to book your tickets well in advance. This might even cut down the prices which may be levied on booking at the last time. You would enjoy the flight as you would fly over many untouched areas and even some mountain ranges. The aerial view is just fascinating and gives a great start to your tour.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
