Bell Tolls in Haridwar- Day 1- Karim's

Started from office at 2:30 pm , got bus and reached air port around 3:20pm. My flight was at 5:00 pm , it was on time and reached delhi at 7:30. My friend was waiting there, we headed towards karim hotel (an old restaurant which mentioned in mukundan's delhi) .

It was behind jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, there were lots of small restaurants in that street , air was filled with aroma of grilled thandoor and kababs, food was good but the hype made me to order more items and left a good part of it uneaten. After dinner we went to nissamudheen where we had to catch train to haridwar at 12.00 am.

Bell Tolls in Haridwar - Introduction

I was planning to write on my trips for a long time, but laziness was not allowing me to concentrate more on this. one day my friend asked me about my north indian trip, I just gatherd information and send it as a word document, this one is the expansion of that document.
Firstly I thank god who allows me to travel and make my mind to decide on these great places. Haridwar was not in my list, but varanasi plan led to me Haridwar .
I was happened to be in kolkata for couple of days last year , it was on the way from shillong to bangalore , I didnt get direct flight , my connection flight was from kolkata . so I booked a ticket two days later from there, kolkata was totally new to me , hotel booking had done before, other than that the travel was not planned well, So I spend most of the time by roaming alone in streets . I told about the slums and people who lives in streets in kolkata to one of my friend, he suggested me to visit varanasi , to experience totally different world of human life.
The urge to visit varanasi begins from here, one of my friend was in delhi i told him about varansi trip, he was quite interested , but we could not find a matching time and he was bit busy with his tight work schedule too. then we thought about places which can be covered from delhi over a weekend and finally decided on haridwar.
This was one of the well planned trip, none of my trips were planned like this , every hour was planned . So a good part of thrill got lost by following a printed trip plan, at the same time it helped me to include some good eat-outs to quench my gastronomic lust too.
