PICTURESQUE BRAHMAPUTRA



Photo Travelogue :


North-east boasts of the mighty Brahmaputra river that originates in Tibet and then flows into India ( entering Arunachal Pradesh & Assam ), ultimately flowing out to Bangladesh where it meets the Bay of Bengal. Unlike most other rivers in India, which are considered 'female' and given female names too, the Brahmaputra on the other hand is considered male, as its name suggests. It has various tributaries feeding into it, and is considered as main lifeline of the states it passes by. While there are plenty of places to view the beauty of this magnificent river, here are some shots of it that I clicked during my recent visit to the north-east. Enjoy ;-)

one last look before bidding adiew...
The Brahmaputra, also known as the Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet, the Siang/Dihang River in Arunachal Pradesh, Luit in Assamese, and Jamuna River in Bangladesh, is a trans-boundary river which flows through Tibet, India, and Bangladesh ( wiki ).

A ROAD TRIP TO THE FAMOUS NABAGRAHA TEMPLE AT CHITRASAL/NABAGRAHA HILLS, GUWAHATI, ASSAM



Photo Travelogue :


Traveling is my passion! And, at any moment I'm up for some explorations - be it within city or out in nature. My fetish for traveling is unsatiable and even before I can think, my feet are already running way ahead. So, when I was in Guwahati last year, I couldnot stop myself from exploring its surrounding hills. And, boi' were there so many of 'em or what. The city is surrounded by lush green hills and one can never get tired of such fun ( of climbing them, duh ), anytime one wishes for some adrenaline pumping adventure. I decided to visit the most popular, and now sadly, the most 'populous' too - the Navagraha Hill also known as Chitrasal. Its part of the Kharguli and Ramchai hill ranges on north part of the city. The beautiful brahmaputra flows below and makes it a wonderful and peaceful sight. But, beware of the monkeys thou', they might just take that peace away :|
The road goes up the hill, steep at certain points, however quite safe and motorable. Its not a very big hill, so within few minutes you reach the top. For the adventurous, there are few random trails that goes further up and down towards the Kharguli hills...more exciting for sure!


monkeys, monkeys everywhere...signs that you've reached Nabagraha...

I skipped visiting the temple, and decided to enjoy the views around instead.
