Call from Lord Krishna !!

Okay now dont run after my life.

Actually tomorrow Evening (Sunday 20th), I, along with one of my friends, are going for 1 day dash in Rajasthan from Delhi.

We are going there to visit the Temple of 'Khatu Shyam Ji' which is located around 300 Km from Delhi and 70 Km from Jaipur (sort of a triangle between the three).

Check the link for more info about the place : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khatu_Shyam

Our journey starts at around 7:30 PM from Delhi, would involve couple of trains and a jeep, quick bath in the morning, visit to the temple and return journey starts at 8 AM on monday. Again two trains and a jeep and we would be back in Delhi at around 5 PM on monday.

Total Expense including Food, Cold Drinks, Water. Cigarettes, chai & Travel Expenses is US $ 10-12 per head (its true guys).

So inviting anyone and evryone who is in Delhi, and intersting in understaning the culture & religion.

No Agent, company, guide would be able to take you that place..

and trust me its a priceless experience to embrace the almighty after such a tough and demanding journey !!

So mail me at shashank.aggarwal1@gmail.com, I would be checking the mails in morning as per IST and replying to them. Better still you can mail your contact number and I will try and call you up to fix the things up.

Hey Ann..Thats awesome..Infact this year even I was there couple of days before holi in March, and trust me it was a sight to see...

There are lacs for people walking to the temple ..and roads were crowded with dancing and singling devotess till hundreds of kilometers .. infact that is the time that you own existence in the world seems to be so small...Infact I had been to that place more than 20 times..however march was the fisrt time I was there in a Mela.. SEA OF HUMANITY

Bye the I returned to Delhi yesterday evening after 22 hours of non stop travelling..

Okay so after this visit, I have visited their couple of more times, however both times in a car..

So Once again I am refreshing the thread as we will be going there this Sunday 28th October, Most of the schedule remains the same as first post...

Last time spent less than 8 dollars per head on the entire trip...including accommodation, fare (train, jeep, Rickshaw), food (including an amazing meal in Rewari), chai, water, cigarettes..cold drinks and all..

I remembered..... I had visited salasar temple and khatu shyam temple in 1997.
we started from shahjapur (near behror)in the morning.... reached salasar around 3pm... started again arong 5pm ... reached khatu shyam around 8:30 in the night... stayed in a dharamshala.... attended early morning puja next mroning and then left for jaipur.....
very nice untouched place....

From Delhi we take a local passenger to Rewari...From Rewari another train (Narrow gauge) till Ringas\Ringus\Reengas ..from there its approx 18 Kilometers by a jeep...many devotees walk the distance !!

Piyush · Oct 24th, 2007, 14:26

Oh u went by local passenger train..Thats why its 8$/trip. Is it the only train available(combination of the two) to reach there?Its always a wonderful travelling in local train.I still remember we used to travel in EMU's when we were doing our graduation in Delhi for nothing.."kya karen kya karen chalo train me ghumte hain" and yes without ticket....

yes..thats the only option ..earlier when Narrow gauge was operational in Delhi there were couple of direct trains..but now this is the only way once can commute..

PS : By the way ..last time was not the only time I have been there, I have visted the place more that 30 times in last 4 odd years..
