Bishkek – An Unusual Destination

At the outset, you may feel that Bishkek is an insipid city with nothing much to offer. When I reached Bishkek, the capital and largest city of Kyrgyzstan, major renovation work was going on almost everywhere. I cursed myself for choosing this city over others. But as I explored more I found that Bishkek has a lot to offer its visitors.

Tower with Chimes

Perched on the Tien Shan mountain range in the Chui Valley, Bishkek is home to some stunning monuments and statues. Perhaps this is the best part of this city. Wherever you go, you can spot a monument.

Though they have a great transport system, I suggest you  hire a taxi to explore this place as it is relatively cheaper. And don’t forget to visit Bishkek’s famous Osh Bazaar, where you can buy from dry fruits to salad.

Few tips: Read the history of Bishkek before visiting this city. It will make your trip more interesting. Food and booze is quite cheap. People are quite friendly and if you know Russian then it will be cherry on the cake. One thing the city authorities really need to work on is – the street lights. If you are planning to take a stroll in the night just be wary of pickpockets.

Well, not every city can be a London or Paris. Bishkek, like any other beautiful city, has its own charm and rhythm. Perhaps it is Bishkek’s great party culture and low cost of living that it is attracting thousands of travelers every year.

Kayaking In Orchha – An Exhilarating Experience

img_20161127_141716

Think of water-sports activities! The first place that comes in mind is Rishikesh. Yes this place is famous for offering some of India’s best water-sports activities. But there are other places too in the country that are attracting ardeline junkies with variety of water sports ranging from scuba diving to kayoing.

On my recent trip to Orchha, I went for kayaking in Betwa river, which is surrounded by lush and dense forest. Thanks to a well-trained instructor Mr. Manohar Lal Kewat, I had exhilarating experience that I will cherish forever.

It took approximately 1 hour to complete my three and half kilometer journey, which passed without any single problem.

While kayaking, one can spot a range of wildlife animals such as Nilgai and a lot of birds. One of the best part of kayaking in Betwa river is that it gives you an experience of getting close to nature. And my experience was not an exception to it. I also felt the same. I found nature in its purest and raw form. Serenity completely made me numb.

I had no idea that my kayaking experience will turn out to be such a memorable trip.
During the trip, we also stopped at few places to take some pictures of nature.

Barring from rainy season, you can enjoy kayaking in Betwa river throughout the year. The best time to go for Kayaking is between 8am-10am so that harsh sun does not spoil your mood.
