Hi Inder,
So you made it to the foothills.
Do you plan to go to Paunta Sahib, if so post pictures on photobucket to save bandwidth.
How come there are no people in these pictures, My Hindi is very poor, yet can make out the word "Mahseer".
Before they made the Tajewala Barrage and Sutlej Yamuna link project, this place was "Mahseer" Heaven. Visited with my Mamaji, (around 1960) a engineer surveying for the Tajewala project extension. Clearly remember those 3 feet long "Mahseer"caught by local fishermen and sold to the Guesthouse Cook. Mamaji shot a few partridges too while driving upstream to HP.
How are Jagadhri and Yamunanagar now, were overcrowded with people and trucks carrying sugarcane even back then.
Have fun travelling!

Hi Satpal,
I am from Yamuna Nagar. I visit Paonta saheb almost every visit to north. Reason of no people in the pics...I went there with my younger brother, he got bored after some time and came back home leaving me with tackle and camera. There was no place to keep the camera for taking a self pic so no me in the pics
This place was good for mahseer even three four years ago. You can hear the tales of big mahseer being catch even now days from locals but I doubt that. Haryana fishery department organize fishing competition every year at Tajewala but I draw a blank at hatnikund, Tajewala and even on Western Yamuna canal where i fished for three days.
. I guess my fishing luck is not so strong
And talking about partridges, the river bank you see in Yamuna Pics....There was a time when it was guaranteed that you will disturb some if you walk in those Sarkanda's. I don't know if you know but there is a tribe called "they" or "Tey" in north. They use to hunt hares with Grey Hounds and its use to be a sight to remember. Ah........those days. The jungle adjoining Yamuna is called "Kalesar" and its still rich with wild life. You can easily spot Wild boars, deer even a leopard. There is a post on IA forums where one member narrated his experience of visiting Kalesar. Nice post..
Jagadhari and Yamuna Nagar are getting crowded day by day. I don't know from where all those people are coming and Trucks, trolleys filled with sugar cane are still there.
