Yamuna bridge near Kempty…


This place in ‘Jaunsar Bhabhar’(U’ll see multiple entiries for same if you are into googling, it’s a place inhabited by beautiful truly Aryan pedigree who are carrying forward the sword of Pandavs and Kaurvas and with scheduled privalage bestowed upon by GOI are doing wonders in public life..adjacent to this is Jaunpur(Nainbagh) area infamous more due to ignorance with experts calling it place of reverse ‘Polygamy’…its all history and do not try to look too deep into it….by the way Jasu Rana or Jaspal Rana the famous shooter comes from this place)


If u drive down from Kempty falls which does not at all hold any charm of yesteryear anymore and is becoming the only solace for redundant technologies like ‘Air troliies’ which has been put up , I rode on it alongwith Bijal, Joshita and Seema on this weekend trip and made a quick exit soonest from a place which is pale shadow of its former self.
Driving from Kempty towards Vikasnagar taking the yamnotri highway, Yamuna at its best with swirling waters is view to behold, Nomadic muslim Gujar making their annual treks towards Shivalik ranges are a companion throughout.
I have this trip many a times
· With Pintoo , Rajesh Gupta and Sharad Gupta way back in mid ninties.
· With Pintoo couple of times later.
· With Kapil Manwal in 2003.
All the times its been bikes and scooters and drive always a thrill, I decided to ride my ‘Zen Estillo’ but making sure many a times that route was allright hoping still that modern and rising India has not taken anything away from adventures of yore.
I was rewarded by a nature made waterfall hundered times better than any ‘Kempty falls’.
I wanted my kids to savour this ride and certainly think it was so, l look forward to further journies this path with many a friends in years to come.
Amen!!!

Second pic is kempty falls as seen from air car and i do not remember at all taking you there, if its so than you are also added in list but you are true about dam construction which remains as it is.

Have u been to Chakrata? with Pintoo we have travelled extensively in this region.
