my trip to awesome JOSHIMATH

Well some may want to know where Joshimath is
let me tell ya
its a place near Badrinath (one of the "CHAR DHAMS" ) in uttarakhand
This one shows the way to Joshimath



Its surely a beautiful place

but its a dangerously built town
most of the construction has been done by cuttin portions of rocks from the mountain
If i were an architecture student out there then i wouldnt be surprised if i got a site as the one behind me in d snap

JUS ONE BIG HUGE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well dats wat the place is all about only
the mountains are firstly blasted usin dynamite
den retainin walls are blt(dat too really huge ones)
n well they is very less or absolutely no usage of cement due to cost and safety reasons (coz as said by one construction engineer the makin of cement is not allowed in most places like dese)
Well now dis snap out here shows a housing colony of the jaypee hydroelectric project on the way to badrinath. Its been built in the shape of a ship. Really beautifully built structure




There are a lot of hydroelectric projects bein carried out in dese areas n d sites where they have been made are surely beautified to the most


And of course wen we talk about Badrinath we surely do talk about Kedarnath too


Man dat trip.............


its been engraved in my heart n its sure gonna last lifelong .......................i can never forget the amount we had to walk!!!!!!!!!!


8 hours goin n 10 hrs comin


all d way walkin


well it did test our patience n endurance


the most difficult part was wen we were about to reach ...........dats wen it was most difficult to move on coz the altitude was real high......decrease in the level of O2 (REAL CHOKIN KINDA FEELIN)

and the way was difficult too (n not to forget the smelly part) becoz of all the horse shit dat lay on the path

there were horses for ppl who cldnt walk.. even palanquins to carry older people


but as we slowly approached the temple the tiredness seemed to dissapear


it felt as if God was done wid the testing session well it actually felt great to be inside the rock cut temple

This one is the way well it was actually full of waterfalls n other lovely things to see

the trip sure taught me things ie

PATIENCE WILL SURELY YIELD GOOD RESULTS!
