Delhi to Srinagar /Srinagar to New Delhi Flight Experience March 2014
Delhi to Srinagar /Srinagar to New Delhi Flight Experience March 2014
Traveled with Family from Delhi to Srinagar by Air in last week of march 2014.Security at Delhi Airport is quite tight.Since we were traveling first time on this route.We reported 2 hours before departure. After checking waited for nearly one hour for the flight.
For economy class passengers, airline like indigo,Spicejet etc take passengers in a bus to the plane.
The buses have limited seating capacity and as the distance is not too much many pessanger prefer to travel standing in the crowded buses. The buses stop near airplanes after which passangers enter planes in queues.
The Flight was on schedule. After wait of 10 mins ,plane took off and soon reached height of 10 km.
The weather in Delhi was cloudy but at height the clouds were below us.After nearly 50 minutes flying time,we saw snow clad peaks of Kashmir which were looking very beautiful.After 65 minutes of flying, plane started to land on Srinagar Airport.
A perfect landing resulted in claps and cheers from passengers.
There are no buses in Srinagar Airport to carry passanger from plane to Airport building.instead the Airport uses airbridges which connect plane to the airport.
There was one person inside the airport offereing prepaid taxi.We commited the blunder to took Taxi from him.later we learnt that he overcharged us.To get prepaid Taxi ,visit prepaid taxi booth just outside the Airport.
Return journey
We started early from hotel.The luggage was scanned nearly 1.5 km outside Airport Building by security personnel.passengers have to disembark from taxi and put the luggage on belt attached to scanner.
There are additional security checks at Srinagar Airport and Cabin baggage is not allowed.
Before final security checkup,you have to identify your luggage deposited at time of obtaining Boarding passes,otherwise your luggage will not be sent inside the airplane.
Rest of the journey was same as incoming and we landed at new Delhi Airport in 75 minutes.

Parasnath Trekking Guide in Jharkhand
Parasnath Trekking Guide in Jharkhand
Shikharji Jharkhand Parasnath Hill trekking Guide
Parasnath Hills travel guide
Parasnath Hill is among the best trek of jharkhand
But the information on Trekking Guides online is outdated
Nearest Railway station is Parasnath railway station
from there are two otpions for trekking (only in theory)
One is from Nimiaghat while other is through Madhuban
No one goes from Nimiaghat,its only in theory
Only possible way is go to Madhuban and then Hike 13 Km on foot
From Parasnath (Isri Baazar) to Madhuban Taxi Charge is Rs 350
In lean season they can settle for Rs 200/-
Other option is shared Trekker which Charges From Rs 30. to Rs. 40 per head.
Few Things to note (For Non Jain Trekkers)
1. Stay in Madhuban Instead of Isri Baazar
2.No leather is allowed for trek,so get purse,shoes and Belts made of Canvas.
3. Busy Season is from August to January.During other months there are ample stay opportunities at Madhuban
4.Jains eat before sunset.So canteens in Madhuban Dharmshalas offer diner between 5 to 6.30 Pm.Stock Enough Food for Night if you need.
5. Pilgrims Start trek at 0300 AM with help of Torches.Starting at 3 am will help in saving lot of time.
Eatables are available along the way.But Charges are extra.A water Bottle Costing Rs 12-15 will be available for Rs 30 on the way.A cup of tea will cost Rs. 10 . A 12 Rs MRP mango Juice will cost cost Rs 20.
After 7 km there are two Options.One is the traditional way consisting of many stairs,other is great trekking Route going to Parasnath Temple .So opt for the Right way going to Parasnath if you are interested in trekking .
Some of the Pics

Temple at Madhuban
There is a Jain Museum at Madhuban which can be skipped easily.Ticket for this museum is Rs 10.And the persons ask for donations.There are Binouculars installed here for viewing.but they are just ordinary Binoculars,So Skipping is easy if you have your own Binoculars

Hotel in Bhuntar, Kullu Hotel Airport Inn
Hotel in Bhuntar, Kullu Hotel Airport Inn
If you are planning a visit to Manikaran,then Bhuntar is one the options for night stay as it is warmer than manikaran and situated on national highway.
One of the Hotel situated on NH itself is Hotel Airport Inn
We spotted this Hotel while returning from Manikaran
We were looking for nice budget hotel and were delighted to stay in this hotel
Tarriff: Off-season Tariff is Rs 800-1000 for two types of rooms which certainly go up in Busy season.
Rooms :Rooms are very decent considering the fact that we paid just Rs 1000 per night for these rooms .Geysers were provided in toilets and toilets were spotless.
Ambiance: Hotel is situated on highway.A fast food outlet is also within the premises.Ambience inside Hotel is better than many costly hotels.
Parking :There is ample parking space which is an added advantage
View:View from Balcony and Hotel Room were quite good.
Overall a good budget Hotel 8/10
