Garhmukteshwar-Bike trip to nearest Ganges Ghat.

On a windy Sunday morning last week, me and my sardar roomie decided to go for a bike trip. The location chosen was Garhmukteshwar, it is the nearest Ganga Ghat to Delhi.

It is located on the National Highway(NH24) to Lucknow in UP. The entire stretch of 66 KM was as smooth as Priayanka Chopra's legs. Unfortunately on seeing the board of Garhmukteshwar in the roadsigns we got into the township searching for the Ganges, that stretch of road was as bad as Rabri Devi's face. But the actual ghat was on the highway itself just 4Km from the township.

Ganga was flowing smoothly in the ghat(it is called BhujGhat) and the volume of water flow was very high, one of the locals advised not to venture deep into the water(of course both of us didnt know swimming). After having a dip in there to wash out the committed sins(i know it is not sufficient!!!) we started our way back. The Ghat is not so organised as Varnasi(for which i'm leaving next week), there are no steps so quite risky. And places to take bath are all encroached by ferries who make a trip around the shores.

The place is also famous for Bamboo related furnitures, where you could see varieties of Modas(a stool kinda stuff), Chairs, Jhoolas etc. So on our trip we went to Chandni Chowk travelling back some 100 KM. went on an eating and purchasing spree(right from undergarments to Rs. 10 gogles). The trip meter reading showed we had clocked aroun 250 KM on that day, also indications from Spinal cords of both confirmed the same.

Have taken a few snaps of them, will try to share it soon....
