Trip to Mandu and Omkareshwar

I had a nice weekend ... Thou was not feeling too well the whole of last week, decided to go on a trip on the weekend ... it started off by plannin a trip to Khajuraho... the plan didnt materialize and instead me and my friend ended up making trips to Omkareshwar and Mandu
Omkareshwar, on saturday, has probably been one of the sexiest hikes I ve done in a long long time ... a small temple town, with over a million temples and a zillion babas, the place is a heaven for firangs who come in seearch of truth and enlightenment and soul and wat not ... there are lots of sadhus medidating, lots of weed and bhang available and a very very beautiful temple ...
Omkareshwar is a nice little island, nestled comfortably between the Narmada and the Kaveri ... to complete a "Pradakshina" aroud the Shiva temple, which houses the fourth of the eight Jyotirlingas, we need to walk about 8 kms around the hill, along the river and over the hill... which undoubtedly was the best part of the trip ...
Come sunday we were joined by a another coupla my friends from IIM I .. we cabbed it down to Mandu in wat a pretty boring journey, except for the non-stop entertainment provided by Akshat ... Mandu is supposed to be a hill station and very beautiful after rains .. there is nothing much to see there.. except for lotsa of forts (not very great architecturally thou') ...
uploaded a few snaps.. it was my first outing with my camera .. :) and i absolutely love it.. i dont know how to upload photos on my blog space.. help madi ... for the time being watch it on
