Trip Log:
Day1
It was the day before Diwali, when I was just thinking of going somewhere as I really don't enjoy much celebrating Diwali so was looking for somebody to partner me for the ride, and also as there are some job assignments which were to start from 8th Nov, I was desperate to go somewhere. That was the time when I got a message from Zyan asking about riding to Ajmer.
It was like Aha! what can be the best way to celebrate Diwali under the blessings of Khwaja ji of Ajmer Sahreef. I straight aways said yes!. I also asked Jamal who works in my company itself, if he is interested to join. Soon we all decided the plan for next day, to start the ride.
We all met at our very own XBHP Dhaba in the morning 5:00am. And mind it man it was a damn chilly morning. We started from there as soon as we met there, but chilly morning was just like stopping us from riding at our usual pace...we took our sweet time reaching Higway King and by the time we reached Highway king it was already around 8:00am and sun was up and high. We took the first break and had our breakfast.
Soon after having our breakfast, we decided to shoot towards Ajmer as Zyan and Jamal wanted not to miss the Friday Namaz at Ajmer Shareef. We rushed and to our support it was like curfue on the roads with minimal traffic.


With all the grace of God and support of less traffic on the road we reached Ajmer dot on time and we still had good time to rest before Jamal and Zyan would go for Friday Namaz(prayer) at Ajmer Shareef. In the meanwhile we started discussing where to stay and where to go. And then I recalled of Col. Dhawan whom I met during my Jodhpur ride with Capt. Ravee. I would like to thank Col. Dhawan who helped us for the stay arrangements in the Officers' Mess in Nasirabad, and I would specially like to thank our dear Capt. Ravee for Introducing me to Col. Dhawan.
Me and Uday decided to go in the evening as I was reluctant taking my Ninja in those rush packed streets of Dargah Shareef in the afternoon. So we asked Jamal and Zyan to proceed with their prayer and we went to Naseerabad to look for the arrangements. On reaching there it felt so good to get the wam welcome in the Army Officer's mess and a chance to stay where Sr. Officers stay. We rested there and waited for both of them to come back. As we were quite tired so me and Uday decided to go to Dargah in the morning.
Day2
Next day, early morning me and Uday got ready to go to the Dargah and we found that our decision of coming in the morning was correct. It was 6:00am when we reached there and we found a good crowd already available there, but it was still better to what we would have found in the afternoon or evening. We had our visit and paid the homage to the saint and wished for his favour of forwarding our blessings to the lord, and came back to the mess. It was really a great experience being there early in the morning. You feel so good when you see people all around you are drowned in the aura of the lord and you here those Qawalli Singer singing the naat for the lord. We did click some pics there. (UDAY PLEASE UPLOAD THEM)
When we came back we decided to move to Pushkar, we got ready had our breakfast and took our steads out of the garrage.


Soon we reached Pushkar, as it was just ~20kms away from Ajmer. As Ajmer was fully covered with the aura of Khwaja ji, similarly Pushkar is all covered with chanting and mantras, temples and their bells. In the way we also visited a place called Ana Sagar.





From here we thought of directly going to Jaipur and have a visit to Nahargarh fort, but on insisting by Zyan we changed our plans and first decided to go to Sambhar Lake. On reaching Sambhar it felt as if why should we go from here, and why should we not stay here it self, but our plans were to see the night view of Jaipur from Nahargarh Fort. So we decided to stay at Sambhar lake for some time, which later turned out to be some hours.
















After spending some quality time at Sambhar Lake we moved ahead towards Jaipur, where wehad all plans to see the night view of Jaipur from Nahargarh Fort. We reached Jaipur in late in the evening as in between we had faced good traffic jam because of an accident of a motorcyclist along with the pillion on the road, we rushed to see if everything is alright and found that both were still alive but were badly hurt in unconsious stage on the road. When I asked if anybody has called for Police or Ambulance, then people around said that they have already informed 15 minutes back but yet no action till now. I tried to convience some people to take them to hospital, and was fianlly been able as well. One gentleman said "Ok! let's keep them in my car and take them to hospital", and bang on! that was the time when police arrived and soon arrived the ambulance. And then we left from there. After moving bit ahead I was shoked to see that both police station and hospital were just on the walking distance and still it took more than 15 minutes for police to arrive and around 30 minutes for Ambulance.
Well! hoping and wishing that both ofthem survives with minor injuries, we left from there, and reached Jaipur, there we looked for the accomodation and found one very near to Nahargarh fort, rigt in front of Lake Palace. In the night we went to Nahargarh Fort and enjoyed the beautiful view of Jaipur in the night. We did try to take some pics but could not capture them well as we did not have a better camera along with that a tripod was missing. After that we started looking for someplace to eat as we were already hungry by then like a wolf.
we went to the Durg Cafetera which is situated inside the palace, and we had our royal dinner there.
Day 3
Next morning, as we had whole 1 day with us, me and Jamal decided to go to Nahargarh once again and then will visit to Jaigarh fort. Uday and Zyan went to one of their friends to meet in Jaipur. They enjoyed there visit to Birla Mandir and we enjoyed our at Nahargarh and Jaigarh.





















And then we left back to our home towards Delhi, but enjoyment has not ended yet. Adventure and Enjoyment is not complete without troubles, so we found our share. As soon as we hit the next civilization area after Jaipur, we had faced loads and Loads of traffic, it felt as if everybody has left JAipur and intruding Delhi. As soon as I entered Gurgaon, it felt as if am I really in India, as 1 of the BMW 530D driver somehow got his ego hurt and started racing with me, as soon as I realised the same I slowed down but it was amazing and shoking as well to see that man driving through the traffic contantly on 150+kmph. He was zipping the traffic like a knife on butter. And soon after that we got the opportunity to see a blue colored Bentley right in front of us at IIT flyover till Kalkaji, we were just not finished enduring the Bentley that it was joined with another mamoth and it was Rolles Royes Phantom. Mannn! that was like a happy ending to the trip.
I know riding and writting are 2 all together different skills and fun, I hope I was able to take you all on the ride along with me through my words, and hope you enjoyed it...

I have never ridden for long distances along with a pillion before and I must say Jamal was a real well disciplined pillion, as he never let me feel that I am riding with a pillion. Hope to have many more rides together.
