Posted: 25 Aug 2014 04:25 AM PDT A Journey to Bhutan with The Blueberry Trails This season we head out on an epic roadttrip to Bhutan, a country here happiness is currency. Traveling to this Himalayan land is an adventure in itself. Long winding drives with magnificent sights that surround you, hikes to the Himalayan hamlets, visit to the stoic monasteries, wondrous mountainous pastures that you pass by and really warm, cheerful, happy people that you meet along the way and share a cup of tea with. But Bhutan had us at Happiness being their GDP measure. Come away to spend some time on a roadtrip to this Himalayan land. We start from Bagdogra. Take a flight from our respective cities and reach the airport in North Bengal and our road trip starts. We are entering Bhutan via Phoenshilling and covering Thimpu-Paro-Punakha-Gantey Valley-Taksang Monastary. It will be one hell of a road trip and we can hardly wait. Looking for a band of happy people to join us too. Trip essence: Road journey | Culture | Hikes | Photography Highlights of the trip Roadtrip. Road trip. Road trip. We start from Bagdogra, go to the distant valleys of Punakha and come back to Bagdogra, all of this in 9days. Hike to the Tigers Nest monastery. Fantastic views along the way, and local culture, local lifestyle that you get a peek of More time in smaller towns like Punakha, one gets to experience local life from up close and personal Architecture of the Dzongs is bedazzling.

SAJJANGAD: Samarth Ramdas lived for long time @ Sajjangad, a small hillock near Satara. He breathed his last here and devotees worship his mausoleum here. This is an important centre of worship for the Ramdasi sect. Ramdas swami remains an inspiration for the technique he developed in infusing Nationalism and Dharmic devotion among ordinary people across the country by his concept of Hanuman temple, akhaada and a Paathashaalain every village. His emphasis on Rashtra chintana along with spiritualsadhana is more relevant today than it was anytime before.

KALYANGAD: is also known as Nandgiri fort. This fort was built by king Bhoj-II of Shilahar dynasty as mentioned in the copper plate inscription found in Satara.This fort appears to be built in between 1178 to 1209. It appears from many copper plate inscriptions of Shilahar kings that they gave many donations to Jain people. It has been proved that this fort is built by Shilahar Kings, as many statues of Lord Parshvanath are found in the cave on Kalyangad. In 1673 Shivaji Maharaj conquered Satara and surrounding regions. Kalyangad became a part of his territory. After Shivaji, the administration of Kalyangad went into the hands of Pratinidhis (representatives). Later, conflicts arose between Peshvas and Pratinidhis.

ABWs Trek to Harihar fort(Harshagad) on 7th September 2014
Hello Wanderers,
We are glad to invite you for a Trek to Harihar fort(Harshagad) on 7th September, 2014.
![harihar]()
General Information:
The fort of Harihar, lying on Trimbak range, was of significant importance in earlier periods, as there used to be a route crossing this range connecting Maharashtra to Gujarat.Trimbak range has spreaded its arms to the north of Igatpuri and west of Nasik. It is divided mainly in two parts, with forts of Basgad, Utvad, hill of Fani, Harihar and Trimbakgad on one part while the forts of Anjaneri and Hargad on the other. Vaitarna is the main river in this region. But due to the one – sided slope of Sahyadri, the water flows away from this region. There is an absolute shortage of water from January to March in this region. The fort appears to be rectangular in shape from its base village.
Grade: Medium

We are glad to invite you for a Trek to Harihar fort(Harshagad) on 7th September, 2014.
General Information:
The fort of Harihar, lying on Trimbak range, was of significant importance in earlier periods, as there used to be a route crossing this range connecting Maharashtra to Gujarat.Trimbak range has spreaded its arms to the north of Igatpuri and west of Nasik. It is divided mainly in two parts, with forts of Basgad, Utvad, hill of Fani, Harihar and Trimbakgad on one part while the forts of Anjaneri and Hargad on the other. Vaitarna is the main river in this region. But due to the one – sided slope of Sahyadri, the water flows away from this region. There is an absolute shortage of water from January to March in this region. The fort appears to be rectangular in shape from its base village.
