Highlight of 2009 - Trip to Kedarnath & Badrinath















..................Like i had wished last december that i should visit all these places....finally my long cherished dream came true in October when me and mummy went on a trip to the Dev Bhoomi - the land of Gods - The mighty Himalayas....and wow....what a trip....now i know why gods select the best places in the world to live....pure, pristine with awe inspiring beauty of nature...........the first destination was Dev Prayag where Alaknanda and Bhagirathi merge to create Ganga.....i offered prayers to the river goddess....the same place where Brigu rishi had prayed to bring Ganga down to the earth from the heavens.......then to Kedarnath through helicopter where the snow covered sumeru forms the backdrop of this beautiful temple ( Jyotirling) dedicated to Shiva which remains closed for six months of the year......and then finally to Badrinath ( Dedicated to Vishnu ) between Nar and Narayan mountains and the playful alaknanda flows by the temple.........the journey of a lifetime :)........now Kailash Mansarovar does not seem very far off........
