Budget Trip – Mirzapur, Varanasi, Lekhaniya Dari
Today, I was browsing some pictures of my friends & found this trip pictures & thought to put them online & share with my friends.
May 2004, our MCA 6th sememster exam was just over & there was few days gap before our viva exam, So we decide to go for a trip to Varanasi. All friends from kharka group (Me [Vinod] Vishal, Saud, Nafasat, Akhilesh, Neeraj, Aadesh, Jitendra Gupta) each contributed Rs 100 for this trip (We used to have very little amount for our expense those days, we manage our full month expenditure in Rs. 1000 to 1500 including room rent). Purchased a Kodak film role for camera & headed for the trip in the morning by train. We travelled Jaunpur to Varanasi by train WT (without ticket), but we’ve purchased one ticket, idea behind purchasing one ticket was that when we’ll reach at Varanasi station, one person will go out of station with this ticket & buy platform tickets for rest of friends inside station. We did the same thing to get all friends out from station. After coming out we felt that we’ve just wasted some money on platform tickets so Vishal & Nafasat sold those platform tickets to other people who were willing to buy platform ticket in the long ticket queue.
We reached Lekhaniya Dari by bus and saw that huge fall & discovered some untrampled locations there. It was our 2 days trip & it cost each member around Rs 200 with one night stay in a lodge in Varanasi.
I would love to see some more thoughts on this from you all my friends & add any interesting event I missed out.
