When my friend suggested me to visit Auli, i thought it must be full of ice around there , i was rather worried as to how we will be able to brave the cold, i had earlier read abt tall rope-way towers , the difficulty in such a horrible weather etc…………. but on reaching there to our surprise ,except the cold weather which was chill enough to drive us immediately to our rooms, there was nothing to worry. but then you should be ready to expect any sudden change in the weather at this altitude , any given day without any prior indications abt it. man who always boasts being in the knowledge of each and everything happening around him , is confronted here at the Himalayan heights , about its uncertainty in the life .i witnessed all the three seasons on a day, which really frightened me . Imagine a lightening stroke damaging the BSNL exchange crippling it totally,no mobile coverage , nearest working telephone booth at abt 15 km at Joshimath , hostile weather , very bad road(due to weather extremities) , motorable only by a four wheel drive jeep on such a terrain, i really enjoyed the solitude, initially my wife was literally wild abt the place, later after a day’s acclimatizing she calmed down, now after coming back home ,she continuously praises the place, expressing the desire to visit again.
All the way from Haridwar abt 280 km away one travels through the high Himalayan mountain range on one side and thousands of feet deep valley on the other side , somewhere the icy peaks visible along the way,Bhagirathi, Alaknanda, Mandakini rivers, accompanying you thro’out the journey, we were traveling in the month of April last week, , we were traveling in a Marshall jeep,a heavenly experience indeed.
Cliff-top Resort just superb, they have a fully equipped kitchens in their rooms, so an invitation for the male culinary curious fraternity, to try out out their skill giving much needed respite to their better half’s from the daily chorus.they have a grosary shop too, no need to worry.but the restaurant of the resort is really equally good , only thing you should be able to brave the cold till you are served the food , its biting cold out there, not cosy like your heated rooms.
Location of the resort just mind blowing with a 240 degrees view of Majestic Himalayas from Nandadevi to Neelkanth to name a few , cool fresh air, long walks around the place give you Navsanjeevani, for years to come, just keep walking,take care …………. bye for now……..
