Here is a slideshow/collection of the photographs taken during our trip to the Club Mahindra resort, Binsar. Photos include pictures en-route, the Naukuchiatal lake and the resort, Club Mahindra Binsar resort pictures, Binsar wildlife sanctuary, Nainital amongst others.
I had published this blogpost earlier in Clay, the Club Mahindra travel blog. Slight modifications have been made to the post to suit the context of the audience.
As part of the travel blogger’s trip, we made the trip to Binsar(Uttarakhand), a beautiful, quiet and wild Himalayan destination with rich natural surroundings. The travelers to the Binsar trip included Kiruba Shankar (popular blogger and columnist), Arun Bhat (prolific travel blogger and photographer), Prashanth (another popular travel blogger), Ruchika Vyas (travel writer), Shrinidhi Hande (blogger and travel enthusiast) and yours truly.
After convening to the Delhi airport from Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai we had to rush to the Sarai Rohilla railway station and had an interesting twist (read Kiruba’s and my account) along the way. We departed at around 10 PM to Kathgodam via the Ranikhet express, and arrived early in the morning at around 5 AM.From Kathgodam we made a short detour to our newly opened resort in Naukuchiatal (lake of nine corners, is perenially sourced by an underground spring), which is set amidst lush green surroundings, and is tranquil. Unlike Nainital, this place is devoid of too many tourists and makes for an ideal location to vacation.

It was around 7:00 PM, and we had convened from different flights at the Delhi airport, and ready to depart to the Delhi Sarai Rohilla railway station (which I was told was just 45 minutes from the airport). With that complacency , we finally departed at 7:45 PM, and how wrong we were!
The roads were wide, and looked the kind that could beat all traffic, but I should have realised some things don’t change, especially the drivers and the driving in Delhi!. The Tavera inched in the inundated traffic, and I’m not exaggerating. Just when we realized we were running late, and would have move out of the vehicle and run towards the station (in a Dilwale Dulhaniya…) sequence, Kiruba has the good sense of stepping out of the vehicle and asking a guy on scooter if the station was around the corner and checking the status quo.
