Back after a short break, so today I’ll present you with my 5 favorite off-beat places in Himachal Pradesh, which is in my list....
So let’s start with first and my favourite destination...
1)    Tirthan Valley
If you haven;t been to Tirthan Valley then I am sure that you have not experienced nature in its purest form. Surrounded by Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP), this beautiful valley situated besides Tirthan River is an awesome place to relax in the lap of mother nature.
It tops my list of some off – beat places in Himachal Pradesh. If you haven’t got a chance to visit it, then the best time to do so will be in coming Spring season next year. Though the Tirthan Valley is open all round the year but its beauty magnifies to greater magnitude with blooming flowers all round the valley in Spring season.
Imp.: Don’t forget to check out Raju’s Guest House in Gussaini....
2)    Pabbar Valley
Pabbar is one of the most enchanting valley in Himachal Pradesh yet isolated from the tourist rush as of now.
It offers some awesome panoramic views along with tones of nature walks/hikes in the dense orchards and forests all along the valley. You can also experience a wide range of activities like camping, trekking, fishing, and other adventure activities are also gaining attention including rafting and paragliding.
You may have heard about the names of Rohru, Shelapani, Karapather or Chansal Pass and they all come under Pabbar Valley region. So, in all honesty before this “becoming popular” destination gets polluted by the maddening tourist rush, high end commercialization and goes off the off – beat travel places list, do give it a place in your next travel plans to Himachal Pradesh. I am sure you will love every bit of it.
3)    Chindi, Karsog Valley
Chindi is yet another off–beat place in Himachal Pradesh that offers an inspiring set of beauty, peace and calmness. Once, you reach Chindi you have all the time in the world to rejuvenate, relax and spend some quality quite moments with your loved ones.
You have ample of hikes around in the dense orchards and there are several temples than can be explored around Chindi. You can also visit Karsog Valley situated just below Chindi which also offers some really lush green wide views of the mountainscapes.
If lately, you had some “not so good” time with your better half or you had great time with him/her but still want to make it better by listening to each other or you yourself want to introspect few things about yourself then Chindi is an ideal place for you.
4)    Daranghati
Daranghati near to Sarahan, is one of the remotest and unexplored passes in Himachal Pradesh situated just above Daran Village. It is famous for Daranghati Wildlife Sanctuary but nothing can be taken from the jaw-dropping beauty it offers you. Since, Daranghati is near to Sarahan and lacks too many accommodation options (just 4-5 as of now), it can always be covered as a day trip from Sarahan. However, one day camping at Daranghati is highly recommended to feel the nature in its best form.
5)    Barot
Barot is another off the beaten track destination in Himachal Pradesh that is yet to gain attention of the general tourist. It has some wonderful terraced fields, thick cedar forests and range of outdoor activities on offer for the tourist. The Uhl river flowing next to Barot Village mostly on both sides adds every bit of its unique beauty. So, if you love serenity, some nature walks, or you are a backpacker or love to do some angling then do not hesitate by any means to place Barot village in your upcoming travel plan.
ð Conclusion
All these off-beat places can be visited from Delhi/NCR in a day’s time and you can enjoy a complete vacation of 3 to 4 days at any of these places.
Will be back with some more information, so till then Happy Traveling.

Greetings Fooodies..!! I was talking with some of my office colleagues, and came to know that many of them are yearning of "Original Chaats"... So, here I am with my "Lip-Smackingly-Fantabously-Teekha-Chatpata-Delicious" review of "Chaat Waala" at Jyoti Nivas College Rd., Koramangala 5th Block.  It was Ramzaan week, and our priority was tasting some locally prepared "Desserts" (Read it: We are Vegetarians) at "Ramzaan Stalls" of Koramangala.  As our secondary priority was "Sweets", so we started scouting for our "Primary" priority of "Meal"; this is what I call "Reverse Engineering" in "Food" ;) So, with a common consensus, we rounded on "ChaatWala" for our meal (and again, as always, Zomato came to our help; and we weren't wrong in our decision). We took a rickshaw (here, Ola came to our rescue ;) and went straight to this place keeping our fingers crossed; while taking s

Will the stock market ever go up again? In 1992, the market was trading at its highest PE of 21.88 -> fast forward 2017 -> market is trading at PE of 17.04 compared to markets highest PE of 21.88. Above is just one example of the fact that 'Markets will go even higher from today's point'; that is another thing that 'Markets will stop/pause/work sideways to take a ‘ Breather '. Other important facts: Fundamentals of Economy are and will become strong with Time. Stable Government at centre. Majority in Loksabha (just check the 'GOD Speed' at which GST bills are getting passed. 2019 and there would be a majority in Rajya Sabha, along with Lok Sabha (where there is still a majority). ‘ Macro Demand Economics ' is on a ‘ hockey stick ' growth. ‘ Per capita income ' is increasing day by day. Above are only some points, which I remember as of now; and believe mw there are many pointers which point to fact - ' Markets will

-> 13/01/2014 Does the rise of AAP threat to Modi??? Is the rise of the Aam Admi Party bad news for the Bharatiya Janata Party or good?  There are two ways of looking at this, and it isn't clear which one will prevail in April-May's general election.  First effect: The first is to see the AAP as a party of anger that collects votes against the establishment and cuts into the votes of the opposition. The establishment is the Congress and the votes taken away are those of the BJP. This is what happened in Delhi, where AAP dethroned the Congress and ate into enough of the BJP's votes to deny them victory. It is important to note here that the BJP in Delhi actually won a plurality of both the votes and the seats, though it could not win a majority.  But should this pattern repeat across India's large and mid-sized cities, it is possible that the BJP will be denied nationally in the same manner it was in Delhi.   2nd Effect: The other way of looking at it is to
