Barman - Satdhara walk

Satdhara Barmaan


 

Place - Satdhara, Barmaan (Near Narsinghpur)

Location - 100 km from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh

Trip type - Leisure, half day, 2-3 hours

Thank you in advance for reading this blog, because this blog is about my hometown.  I have always blogged/written about places near Bangalore but now I am so thrilled/excited to write something about my hometown. 

This place is around 100 km from Jabalpur and hardly 15 km from my home, situated on the bank of river Narmada. This place is called Satdhara, that means Seven streams, because here the river Narmada splits into seven(multiple) streams. 

This is a raw beauty that you can soak in as much as you can and can enjoy the sceneries to your heart's 😀 

Personally I can spend whole day here, with river & rocks and exploring/ soaking in the nature's beauty. 


It was a cold and cloudy day. After spending many days at home without stepping out, WFH all mornings and evenings, we both had started to get restless and frustrated. Signs of stress and frustration had started to show up on both of us. Visiting river Narmada could have been easiest and quickest way to unwind.

So, started at around 1:00PM. We parked our car just after river bridge, and reached to the bank of river, there were small tent/pooja places and small shops on the way. As soon as we started trekking on the rocks it started drizzling. Since it was really mild drizzling we continued the trek further down.

Zoomed view of the same pic. :)

We had great time exploring rocks and honing rock climbing skills, deciding the final rock which we wanted to concur. After taking Tatva for many treks around bangalore we knew he could easily navigate the rocks here. I was feeling very nostalgic, during our childhood our parents used to shout at us for going on the rocks alone, but I could do it. I ended up doing the same with Tatva as at places rocks were very pointed and tricky. :(

This place is may not be as beautiful as Bheda-ghat : marble garden(which is in Jabalpur) but it will provide you similar feeling. It is worth going and enjoying. 

After an hour or so, the rocks got wet and they became slippery. Tatva, in fact slipped and drenched his shoe and socks, so we decided to trek back to the base location. 





We picked this rock to concur

Year 2023

  I did not do a good job in writing the blogs on time in last 2 years, so thought of at least writing the year 2023 recap on time. So here is my try, let's see if I can finish it and post before 2024 starts. :) The year 2023, I would say was quite happening - lots of travel, successful in terms of achieving milestones (personal as well as professional) and full of dance performances & fun. January 2023 - Rann of Kutch: Gujarat   We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary this year. I asked my husband to plan a trip this time (mostly I do it). He did a good job I must say as nothing could be better and more romantic than Rann of Kutch. We booked 3 night 4 days full board itinerary in super premium tents via  https://www.rannutsav.net/  which is their official tourism site. They also had SNOW music festival on the same 3 days. I was very excited for the trip. The trip proved to be more and beyond than my imagination. The Dhordo tent city, overall arrangement, food and ente

Scandinavia: Tryst with Northern Lights (Oct 2023)

Scenic Scandinavia: Our tryst with Aurora Borealis (a.k.a. Northern Lights) Aurora Borealis - Dream come true I think people fall in love with Scandinavia (especially Norway) in their childhood, when they study about "Land of Midnight Sun" or "Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis". We were no different. It had been a childhood dream of my husband and me to see these wonders with our naked eyes. We were fortunate enough to live one of these dreams - to see powerful northern lights, dancing in the dark sky, filling it with green, pink, red colours as if playing Holi (festival of colours) with the heavens and decorated with countless shining stars. The planning started in July, when incidentally one of our friends, Sahil, mentioned that seeing northern lights was one of their dreams too. I immediately started a joint trip. It took us 15-20 days of research to finalise the itinerary which goes as below (we made some corrections in between): Day 1-2 : Arrive in Stockholm, sig

Nandi hills : Trekking path

Image
Nandi hills : Trekking path Place : Nandi Hills Distance from Bangalore : Around 60 km Trip type : Day trip/Half day trip Day of travel : 3rd August trekking length/Duration : Approx 4 km (to and fro). 1-1.5 hour If you are staying in Bengaluru then you must have been to Nandi hills. If you have been to Nandi Hills then you must be knowing that one can drive till the hill top. Then why trekking??? This trekking path will offer you completely different view which is not available from the top of Nandi Hills. The trek starts from backside of the paved road. The trek is very well carved stepped path. Throughout the trek is green and scenic. If you are not used to steps then you might find it hectic, take rest in between. This is best trekking path if you are beginner or with kids. My 8 year son completed the trek without getting tired. Google map shows the "Nandi hills trek starting point" So make sure you set the right location in the map. You will also find the Notice board on
