My Uttaranchal trip
Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2007 4:37 pm
Some of you guys who are already on IA may have already seen this since it's a clone of my post there,but for those who are'nt here goes.---
Well guys i'm back from my trip to Uttaranchal.Spent two weeks in the most amazing places, covered almost 4000 km,encountered 7 rivers and am dog tired but happy as hell
.
Fishing wise not too much luck but it was a pilgrimage to some great fishing locales!
The catch was an Indian trout at Beas Ghat and two small mahseer (estimated by the ghillie at 1.5 kg and 300-400 gm respectively) at Marchula.
To do real justice to these spots i probably should have given 3-4 days to each and not the few hours i could manage but then thats always a good excuse to go back
Got to meet up with Asif at Delhi and was treated to some cold ones and a sumptuous meal at a gourmet joint called Ploof at Lodhi market..Really needed the dose of red meat after 12 days of mostly veg food and i really
tucked in! Thanks Asif!
Would like to share some of the pics from the trip with you guys.
So here goes!
Yamuna at Dadupur
The river Giri on the way to Renukaji
Murrel at Renukaji
Mahseer at Renukaji
Ghat at Rishikesh
The Ganga at Shivpuri

Confluence of Nayyar and Ganga at Beas Ghat
Barilus at Beas ghat

Small mahseer at Marchula
Small mahseer at Ramganga
Smaller mahseer at Marchula
Confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi at Devprayag.Notice the difference in colour between the two rivers.
