Vineyards of Nashik


There are a total of 106 vineyards in the entire India out of which 43 vineyards are in the enchanting city of Nashik. The city is 165 Kms away from Mumbai and can be reached in around 3.30 hours by road.  The practice and study of vineyard product is called viticulture, Nashik has a belt of grape production which contributes to more than half of the total grape export from the country for that reason it is known as the “Grape Capital of India”
This was our third visit to Nashik and to my amazement I came across some amazing wineries. After all the understanding Soma Vineyards are the best in terms of view (lake), food and comfortable seating. It has got a huge attractive property with swimming pool and has restaurant serving food from 12 noon onwards and for wine the place is open 24*7. It has a tasting tour and rooms for staying as well.
Sula Vineyards, the most popular place for wine tasting, staying and experiencing the grape production hence it is a world class winery with a wine and souvenir shop of its own in the vast property in Gangapur Dam area. Sula is the best place to enjoy the evening amidst the music and sunset until 11 PM. Also the Sula fest is a mishmash of music and wine, it happens every year in February is a big hit amongst the youth.
Vallone Vineyards in the Sanjegaon district on the way to Nashik from Mumbai, a place that serves lip-smacking authentic cuisines. It has a seating area on the roof top as well but is accessible only after setting of the sun. Best place to enjoy lake view, the sunset with a glass of cabernet sauvignon in your hand. They have limited rooms for staying as well.
Grover Zompa likewise is in the Sanjegaon district at a distance of 3.5 kms from Vallone. This place only provides wine tasting and serves wine to the guests but they don’t have a restaurant or room stay. It is an unobtrusive place to relish reading your favourite book with wine at your comfort.  

One can buy wine for gifting from these vineyards as an assured discount of 15-20 %.

Trek to Triund!

Image
The journey: We started off on the 1 st  October night from Delhi to Dharamshala without knowing the consequences of going by a private Volvo. The bus timing was 8:30 PM but we got the first blow of the trip in the very beginning by leave-taking 1 hour late from Delhi. All thanks to the extensive weekend the route showed the worst side of it. Our first holdup!  Meanwhile we got engaged in chit-chatting and realized it was already midnight. At 1 AM the bus stopped up at a local dhabha for dinner and we had dal makhani and Chapati. We took a nap and woke up to a massive jam at the toll gate followed by countless vehicles behind us. It was 5 AM already, after waiting for almost for one and a half hour we stepped down the bus in order to find out where the driver was. We walked for about 5-10 minutes and observed a queue full of drivers, in amidst the line up stood our driver all worn out. We came back to the bus to notify the uninformed aggravated public and after about tw...

Epitomizing 3 chapters of my life in a poetry

"I think of the time when I was young, the songs and compositions i sung. Childhood memories and all that fun, seems like it is unequivocally done. Then came my college days, to get trained and compete the race. But i'am not yet over with all the craze, Just as the fun I did by many possible ways. Now is the tragic phase of life, where money and success is all we thrive. House to live in, car to drive accomplishing tasks, dead or alive..."   I composed this one day while sitting in my office thinking of life and how it has fast-forwarded from the time when I was in school, this life has taught me many things and out of all odd judgments I wrote a recitation of my own. There are not only "three" phases but more, I wrote three here is because I have lived these phases, other phases may come in future if I continue to write like this. Thank You Keep rhyming!

Leh-Ladakh via Jammu and Kashmir

The Trip of a lifetime:  The actual planning of this trip started few days prior to the trip, with lots of discussions over how to go and then after a trail of suggestions and debate we zeroed in on going forward. 6 th  Evening:    We left at around 11:00 PM from Delhi, first stop being Murthal for dinner. We had to drive through the night so we ate home cooked Egg-curry, ordered tea(to be awake) and hot steamed momos (which seemed to be our staple food during the trip). Songs, tea and the excitement of the trip were keeping us awake yet a few caught up on some sleep while others chose to be awake to support the fellow travelers. Soon the dark night was replaced by the first glow of the sun and we were somewhere near Ludhiana admiring the “pinds” of Punjab.  We happened to have crossed Jalandhar and soon we were in Pathankot, the border of J&K, all that we could see was Indian Army all around since Jammu has the maximum Army divisions in its area...
