I truly believe in the "Law of Attraction". When you truly want something from life, the entire Universe conspires us to fulfill the dreams. Just work on it until you get it done. I recently started my blogs about traveling because whenever am doing this I feel satisfaction.

Started from unplanned

This Trip Isn't Pre-plan, it just happened. Wait, let me share with you the little incident behind this trip. I was just totally frustrated from my current job cause I was experiencing negative surroundings, Unmanageable works, especially facing loads of work, work & work. I wasn't even getting any offs & whenever I got offs then I had to do work from home.Rings of calls the whole day on your off is quite irritating. These make my priority worsen.

My Wanderlust I emancipated myself from all the chaos. This is what I am.

So I decided to leave my current job & I started Hunting for my favorite work as a Content writer or as a blogger. With the Grace of God & lots of blessings, I finally found a job that I can create things by myself & can learn so much. So I decided that it's the perfect time to leave that previous job. So I got the Salary & left that work. The next day after leaving the office I went to my Tattoo Artist Mr. Tanuj from Tattoo Elysium & carved my wanderlust Tattoo on my back of the neck, and decided to go somewhere so that I can celebrate the discovery on myself. I decided to go Uttarakhand for wandering & celebrating my new journey.

Saturday night at 10:00 pm, I reached Interstate Bus Terminal (ISBT) Kashmiri Gate, New Delhi. I was waiting for my Travel fellows but they were late (-_-) & I was waited for an hour. So, finally, they come & I was thinking like "They are like water in the thirsty desert" that time they were for me.

After, 2 hours of continuous journey we took a break of 1/2 hours at Masurpur highway Dhaba at 2:42 am. Whenever you go Uttarakhand via bus, the bus driver stops the bus for half an hour for short refreshment in the nearby Dhaabaa of Masurpur. We took relaxation of half an hour, My fellows buy some refreshments from the shop around the Dhaabaa & as a Tea lover, I buy a cup of tea worth Rs. 10/-. They served the Tea in Earthen vessels & it makes it more Delicious.

When I was on the highway with my travel buddies I was feeling like one of my dream come true. Literally it was amazingly beautiful. After the break we are ready to go to Haridwar.

Some shops are open at night for sanitary use & also for food as Haridwar is the most visited tourist attraction. So, there were the good facilities for toiletries. After getting fresh we seated at the bank of the river. The light of the moon makes the Holy River Ganga more attractive & beautiful. I can hear the singing of The River Ganga she's singing beautifully that no one human can do.

After the worshiping of Lord Shiva, we again took a Gypsy Car towards Ram-Laxman Jhula & took a bus Directly for New Delhi. The entire trip was Amazing & in-budget. Travelers who want to begin their journey they can explore here uttrakhand is the versatile place for travelling. Haridwar & Rishikesh is based on with the concept of Yog-Shiksha, Ayurveda & Spiritual Balance. It is he best place for Solo Travelling as well.

Many People want to travel in the mountains within budget. Uttrahand would be the best place for visit & wandering with nature. You can travel Rishikesh & Haridwar 12 months anytime. This is the best place to know the value of significant phrase of life "Go with the Flow as River Ganga".

Important Note:

Keep the nature neat & clean use recycled equipment & keep the wrappers & plastic waste within your bag & use dustbins. Respect the Holy place & make it more beautiful & clean. Don't dump in the river it all starts with you keep the nature clean & maintain.

"Sometimes it's better to go with the flow we don't know what will happen next, where we belongs for the next day. keep going never stop. Everything happens for a good reason."
