Now as far as planning is concerned, Google devta is there.
I did lots of googling & this pics came handy in planninng the distance and hence time to cross each city so that we can reach govind ghat by EOD.

So after lots of dicussion & thinking about the timing & place where we should go, we finally decided that we are going to Joshimath, Govind ghat, Ghangria & Hemkund. Being in frozen lake in october will be just great.
Initially kamal was hesitant & bhati was also of the opinion that we should look for some other place in UT but but but...finally hemkund here we all are coming..yuuu..huu...!
We still have few problem like
1) What if my flight gets even 2 hours delayed. I will land delhi at 19.00 hrs & 21.00 hrs is when we are starting. Though this can be tackled by having a short break at haridwar.
2) What if sandy & bhati gets busy in their office & some urgent work comes in...No control over that so lets keep our finger crossed.

Hi Guys,

I was yesterday discussing with sandy & we planned that we should have a outing somewhere in the hills of uttranchal, where the adrenaline rushes to the the limit & one can test his body to extreme. The place is called Hemkund & few adjoining areas like ghangharia, govind ghat & may be Badrinath[if we can beat the time].
Hemkund is located in India's northern state of Uttaranchal in the Garhwal region. As the name suggests, Hemkund is a lake in the Himalayas. There are many lakes in the Himalayas, but few are set in as dramatic a setting as Hemkund is. At an altitude of 4,329 m above sea level, which is several hundred meters above the tree line, the lake is set like a jewel in a crown of seven of the most picturesque snow peaks of the Himalayas. In this surrealistic landscape, made up mostly of rock and ice, there is no habitation-animal or human. The place is as if made to order for a man in search of absolute peace to meditate upon the absolute truth.
There would not be another living thing in sight. The only sound one can hear would probably be one's own sound. Visiting this place could be regarded as the encounter with the personification of absolute peace and raw natural beauty. It does not take much imagination to understand how the place came to be regarded as a spiritual power place.

So guys if you are ready to venture into it, please mark your attendence via "reply to all" mail & we will plan out the details. BTW, sandy is already into it & he may have checked about few details by now..
BTW, I wanna call this trip as HenkundIn4Days...Any better suggestions...& the trip will be based on the http://magical-trip.blogspot.com/
Just see the website & comment about the place...
