Traveling is fun and adventurous and sometimes it is life changing. The most fun part of a trip is the journey and more exciting when it is by road. I always wanted to have a solo trip and recently I had traveled to Amritsar and it was an extraordinary experience.

 Purpose of the travel
I went to Delhi in order to attend a seminar for a week. I had three days in my hand till I get back home and I had already been to Agra twice in my life. So I decided to visit Amritsar to see the beautiful Golden Temple which I had only been lucky enough to see in pictures. I decided to hit the road but I could not find a good and comfortable bus service at a reasonable rate in such short notice. Then my friend recommended tourist bus service Amritsar and I booked my ticket from my laptop at once. I was apprehensive and tensed at the beginning because, I had no long distance bus experience before.

Experience in bus

• Ambience: As soon as I boarded the bus I was really impressed with the outlook.  I booked a window seat of the premium fleet and found out that it has AC blowers above my chair. Heaters were also there for winter travels.
• Comfortable seats: There were 49 cozy recliners in the luxury coach which were comfortable as all of them had a push back feature along with a foot rest. Also seat belts were there for passengers’ safety.
• Bus entertainment: I was worried about the long boring journey as how long a person can stare outside and observe the nature. The awesome sound system and 32 inches LED came to my rescue. It made the journey more enjoyable. 
• Resources: The helper on the bus was very kind to me.  I forgot to carry a bottle of water and he was ready to lend a hand. He provided me with bottles and as per as their service regulations, it was free of cost. There are also charging operations available in the bus though it was not required by me.  
• Compartment: The driver had a different compartment to avoid any disturbances with the passengers’ compartment. 
• Stops: On my way to Amritsar there were not any unnecessary stops. The bus stopped only when there was a need like for meals or other needs.

Ending my journey
At last I have to mention that the distance of 450 km was not only fun and relaxing but also unique. The person on the bus helped me to load and unload my luggage. What is more impressive is that the bus departed on time and reached Amritsar bus station at correct time. I was so happy because I did not lose any time and had more than enough time to visit Golden temple and others. Impressed by the first-time experience, I booked from tourist bus service Amritsar for my return journey as well. Now I suggest my friends and relatives whenever they ask me, to book a bus journey from their active services.  

Travel widens horizons that help us understand little things to appreciate. It teaches us to be grateful and pleased with everything going on in everyday life. Because during travel we learn to forget our problems and enjoy time with the people we know and don’t know.

Also we learn value of other people we meet. Interacting with strangers we get to know their knowledge and realize how many benefits it brings to us. This quality makes us stronger.

Upon traveling people get better personal insights because patience during travel increases that gives an opportunity to discover ourselves. Besides patience, confidence increases that help us develop new skills to perform new activities.

Meeting with diverse people the world becomes more accepting towards one another. Traveling makes us more responsible caring for other needs. Through travel our eyes are opened and we become open-minded that changes our perspectives.

We live in the present moment where we want to do anything in this world making decisions that are right. To travel is to be worthy that promotes change letting go of the negative vibes controlling our life.

For relaxing and rejuvenating we benefit from a travel break with no work but adventure and play. Also it disconnects us from the habits of social media. What you should do when travel is to be relaxed as it helps reboot your mind, body and mood.

Note there’s always a reason to take a trip that calls for celebration. So celebrating away from the hectic life schedules now make it a habit to get out of your comfort zone and just be ready to travel.

It is not an easy way to travel all the way to the hills of Uttarakhand especially when people are above 50 in number. Quite tedious to say if we travel in a van or two, because either the trip will be a cringe or will not be satisfactory. So out searching for a big transport we settled for a bus to take us to the holy world of Gurdwara Shri Nanakmatta Sahib and Reetha Sahib.

We enquired with several bus operators with help of family, friends and the internet. Searching both on and off the internet we finally found a bus rental service in Amritsar, Rajguru bus services. Honestly saying our experience with Rajguru started on a good note, right from the moment we enquired about their tours, pricing and etc. Falling for their service instantly we booked Rajguru. We were glad that we got the transport available within a short time. As it was the foremost point of our trip. Now other small things were to be taken care like clothes, footwear and other necessary items.

Ready with all the above, finally the day came where all of our 55 individuals excitedly waited to board the bus. Looking at the huge bus approaching us, we felt good that our trip will be a pleasant one. And thinking about our destiny we hopped on, saying the name of the almighty. Fitting our luggage with assistance from conductor everybody settled inside and the bus started its journey just 20 minutes post its arrival, the exact time to which we already were instructed. Singing hymns, chattering and eating we knew we had a long road trip from Amritsar i.e. more than 700kms to reach Gurdwara Nanak Mata Sahib and another 200kms to cover to get to Reetha Sahib.

The bus played its part good due to its nice and comfortable seating. The interiors were amazing giving a positive vibe. The air condition and fans inside were used till we reached Uttarakhand hills, after that we didn’t feel the need to switch it on. Also we had plenty of rest in between our journey due courtesy the bus curtain which was not just simple clothing but quality stuff made that gave us shade and protection from the heat outside. The bus had breaks during the journey several times and each time we stopped the driver and conductor helped us with buying snacks and other items.

Talking about the origins of our destination Nanakmatta Sahib, Nanakmatta is a village (located in District Uddham Singh Nagar) that became sanctified upon the arrival of Guru Nanak, who is the first Guru of the Sikhs. He came here around the 16^th century during his Udasis that meant to spread the message of love, peace and truth.

After more than 700kms of travel we arrived at the region of Nankmatta. Paddy fields surrounded the region. Shops were selling goods and not too far away we saw the gates of Gurdwara Nankmatta. Our bus stopped and we prepared ourselves to enter Nanakmatta Gurdwara that welcomed us with Gurbani. The place is beautiful with courtyards having their own passages. The main door of Gurdwara Nanak Matta Sahib is made up of gold with beautiful artwork displayed showing the scene of Guru Nanak Dev under a tree. The inner sanctum had the holy book of Sikhs, the Guru Granth Sahib placed within a golden canopy. Our experience inside this ambiance, hearing pleasant tones of Gurbani made us felt like we were in an outside world. Just behind the canopy there was a glass covered rectangular hole known as Bhora Sahib.

Other areas within the Gurdwara included Dhooni Sahib, where the story goes that once it was raining here and all fires outside got doused. But the fire that warmed Guru Nanak Dev kept burning and it still was lit till the next morning.

Also here is a dense Peepal tree standing tall at the main entrance with thick branches. The tree has its story that it once was lifeless and had dried down but upon the presence of Guru Nanak it bloomed to life. Another story revolving around the tree is when Guru Nanak Dev was meditating here and other people (Siddhas) wanted to disturb his meditation. They used their powers to pull the tree from the ground to make it fly. But Guru Nanak Dev extended his hand and got hold of the roots and pulled it back to prevent the tree to fly. Even now you could see uproots of the Peepal tree above the ground which were held by Guru Nanak Dev.

Behind the Gurdwara, a Sarovar (pond) filled with colorful fishes appears as a beautiful sight to view. Watching the fish swim gave us a calm feel and as moments passed by it was time to leave which we did not wanted to do. One more structure besides Gurdwara Nanak Matta Sahib present is another Gurdwara that is dedicated to Baba Al Mast Sahib.

Before exiting out, we sipped some hot tea and had food at the langar (kitchen), where anybody can volunteer to serve. Leaving Nanakmatta Sahib with warmth and peace inside we stopped for another bus break not far away from Nanakmatta and took couple of hours to make full rest of ourselves to be ready for our next destination, Reetha Sahib.

Gurdwara Shri Reetha Sahib located on Reetha Sahib Village, district Champawat carries the legend that here is where Guru Nanak Dev encountered the Nath yogis. Guru Nanak Dev’s fellow traveler Bhai Mardana who was hungry at the time was not given food to eat by yogis. There present was a tree with fruit Reetha grown which was bitter to eat. When Guru Nanak Dev asked Bhai Mardana to eat that bitter fruit it turned out to be sweet. The tree standing tall in the premise of Reetha Gurdwara still gives sweet fruit to eat that is given as Prasad which we relished remembering the moment when it actually happened.

Coming back on the road some foxes and a snake appeared with many monkeys. The roads here are good and so our bus went smoothly without any difficulties. We were curious why so many people from all over come here. What we can say it that the significance and magnificent settings of both these destinations is what makes a journey a combination of spiritual and human realm fascinating.

Special thanks to Rajguru Bus Services without whom our trip wouldn’t have been a captivating and safe one.

Road journeys are my favourite part of traveling. It is fun, delightful and overall an amazing experience. I usually travel in a car but this time it was different. It was winter when I was in Delhi, and I was planning to go to Chandigarh from there to visit a friend who lives there. As I was alone I wanted to go by train or flight but there were no tickets available at the last moment. Imagining myself traveling in an ordinary shabby overcrowded bus brought discontentment. That was when I came across tourist bus service Chandigarh and booked myself a ticket on theirdeluxe tourist bus.

Experience on the bus

• First glance: I was impressed when the bus came into the sight. It was on time and the helper man helped me to load my luggage. I went up to find two compartments, one for the driver and another for passengers. As I strolled into the passengers’ compartment the ambience impressed me. There were two rows of wonderful recliners which looked good as well as comfortable. There were berths with enough space to keep small luggage.
• Seating arrangement: The bus had loungers or recliners with armrest and backrest which can be adjusted according to my comfort. It also had a footrest in frontand a fan blower over my head. Since it was winter and chilly I booked for a Non AC deluxe coach. To my amazement, heaters were also provided.
• Entertainment: Having 5.1 speakers with 360 degree surround sound system is a blessing for travelers like me who love some soothing music on the journey towards destination. Plus the presence of 32 inches LED made my solo trip even better.
• Good service: Upon starting the journey the helper gave each passenger a bottle of water which really pleased me. The bus also had first aid kit as they provided bandage to a fellow passenger who had some injury. They made one stop on the way for fifteen minutes for the benefit of passengers. I had enough time to have my meal in that interval. The driver and the helper ensured boarding of all the passengers and then again departed to the destination.
• Special features: My battery drained as I was clicking pictures all the way. Luckily, I found a charging point beside my seat. There were probably charging points on each row. The seats had belts that can be attached to avoid injuries when the road is rough. Plus they had air suspension.

End of my journey

My friend told me to get down at a stop on the way to the actual bus stand. As per my request the driver made a halt and the helper again helped me with my luggage. This was the end of my amazing journey of few hours. After coming back home I recommended friends and relatives to avail the services of tourist bus service Chandigarh to experience the mesmerizing trip. I look forward to travel with them again in the future and enjoy the trip to the fullest!

Traveling is the part of life that makes your life adventurous, practical and exciting. In the holiday so many people decide to visit tourist places like Shimla, Chandigarh and Amritsar with their family and friends. Rajguru Tourist Bus service Amritsar suggest secure, advanced and comfortable journey. Because their buses are installed with advanced features like GPS, Heater, AC. But some time people choose local bus services, and then they face too many difficulties in journey.

Too many crowds at bus stop: During the peak season, too much crowd at the bus stop and could not provide shelter for people who are waiting for the bus, from the sun and rain.

Accessibility: Most of the bus stops are 30 to 40mtr far away or elevated to 40 cm above from the road surface which is not accessible by people whose age is 40 to 50, that’s harder to opt these facilities.

Overloaded buses: In the peak season, most of the time buses are fully filled and there is not space to even stand that create difficulty for the tourist  and  resulting in experience uncomfortable journey, except for the young  male adult.

Standing in buses:  When buses are fully crowded then there is no choice to stand and travel to the tourist places.  Our survey found out that 28% people couldn’t reach the holding rod above them that causing them to drool over other passengers on regular basis.

Quality of vehicle: Most of the local buses quality is too much bad, old, make irritating sound and vibrate too much. That makes people an annoying travel experience and our irregular road causes more sound pollution.

Tickets for short distance: It is too hard to buy tickets for a short distance in the crowded buses. It is a loss to the transport system. Some time conductor didn’t give the ticket for the short distance and put their money in the pocket. This is old transport system, but now days our online technology is becoming so advance.

Tie up with Commissioned shop: So many tourist travelers have tied up with the commissioned shop and they mislead you as, they only end up taking you to places to buy things (and obviously taking home a commission selling you things at astronomical prices), do not show anything about the city.”
