My Travelling Experiences

  Some interesting slogans that I captured from the trucks (another dying art). (This picture I have been seeing since my childhood, " the lady waiting for him (the truck driver) " तुम कब आओगे " another illusion of mind to make yourself is happy is that " she is waiting for you" । That give you strength to cover more miles . This one is my favourites. How Modi put all on work , boost their Ego, he is master in this art , anyway it was good for all at that time. It should be _ चलता फिरता दवाखाना not फिरता दवाखाना , but it's ok as it was in महाराष्ट्र  This like of " समय से पहले और भाग्य से ज्यादा कभी नही मिलता " is also very old but I liked the below one " वो कोन थी जो मुस्कुरा के चली गई" , अरे भाई तुझे धोखा हुआ है , यहा वहा कोई नही थी ही नहीं।  And this one is last one. Lots of them.

Trip to north east of India via UP and Bihar after the Lockdown  The tour can be divided in 4 parts based on the scenery change- 1. Traffic Jam, bad roads and Villages of UP and Bihar . 2. Beautiful Darjeeling. 3. Lush Green Assam and Meghalaya and  4. Bodh city - Kushinagar. 1. Traffic Jam, bad roads and Villages of UP and Bihar . When lockdown had been removed from the most part of the country, I decided to go for a tour with my car as I was so bored staying at home for so long. I stayed in Noida for two days, thinking where to go and than decided to go towards Northeast as I had never been there before. I started towards Lucknow via Delhi and Agra. This new highway from Agar to Lucknow was really great and I covered 300 km in 3 hours (and I guess I was the slowest one on the road following the 120 kmph speed limit). After reaching Lucknow, I didn't want to stay there at night as it's a big city and putting the car inside a city mess is horrible. So I moved forward in my jou...

Click on the Picture above for the google map link. I'm a bit late to write this blog but I think that's a good thing because now the mind has settled down with the trip adventure and one can write not with much enthusiasm but with specific details about the journey. I drove around 7000 km in this trip. It was 2500 km in Malaysia which you can read in more detail in my Malaysia trip blog ,  around 3500 km in Thailand and another one thousand kilometer in Cambodia. As I can summarize that Malaysia is much more developed than Thailand which is more developed than Cambodia and so was the condition of the roads. In Cambodia it's left hand side driving while in Malaysia and Thailand it is right hand driving. Malaysia to Thailand border crossing was quite easy as I checked-in. The Thailand police was very  professional and tourist friendly. Malaysia border police was also okay. I bought Bike Insurance for Thailand in Malaysia border town and as usual I did not carry all the paper...

Sieam Reap Temple   When I was Denied Land Entry at Mayanmar border from Thailand earlier and then at Laos-Thailand border too, I got frustrated. But since I had Cambodia e-visa,  I thought I should give a try and enter Cambodia from Thailand. (Reason of denial for Myanmar:- No land crossing for foreign passport holder since 15 May 2023 and for Laos:- I can enter but no bike allowed without written permission for less then 350 CC engine capacity. They showed me some permission letter examples to contact for permission, I am sharing below if anyone need) Cambodia visa can be applied online and usually it comes within three days (So was Laos Visa, which came on second day). In Cambodia e-visa, they clearly mention that ports of the entry for the e-visa is valid. So that's a good thing. I checked that Krong Poi Pet entry was on the list. I drove 550 kilometers to Poi pet Land border from Thailand-Laos border (Nong Khai, wonderful town, I will write in Thailand blog) M...

  This is approximate route of my driving in Malaysia about 1500 Km  Google Map For Kualalumpur, here is the Kuala Lumpur Tourist Guide map and Metro system Map guide  Link I started from Kuala Lumpur and stayed first night at Seremban which is around 80 km from Kuala Lumpur. It seemed to me a historical City and like all the other Malaysian cities, there are same typical colonial time buildings that confirm the downtown of the city.  Seremban city street view  I stayed in variety of places like downtown of the big city, small  towns/villages and on Highway motels during my driving in the Malaysia. Only avoiding tourist places because I think Tourist places are mostly artificial. They just want to show what they want to show and you do not see what is the reality as a life of a common man. Anyway the benefit of this also is that normal places are quite cheaper in every terms like food, stay or even any other services. City Entrance or Muar Hotel...
