Hey guys - Tanks a tonne for all yr inputs regarding hotels etc. I just got back last night from my small holiday. It was awesome !!!
Doon - I Stayed in Ajanta @ 2400 /-. It was a nice place. I quite liked doon, its a nice place with a lot of young crowd. Anyways my reason of staying there was meeting someone, which I did.
Next morning after having good sandwiches at a bakery in doon, I left for Mussoorie, the drive was excellent, Not much traffic, but with the clouds covering all the roads, the place looked just awesome.
I reached Comfort Inn fort resorts in 45 minutes from Doon & was I in shock !!! The place was yuckkkk !!! I drove up to the reception area and the place looked OLD, Good thing was I just booked over the phone and did not pay any advance, I told the wifey to go check out the hotel and I stayed outside ( I thought let her decide this one so that I would not be blamed bcoz she took the decision ),she came back in 10 minutes & said she hated the place, not worth at all.
Now this was a problem - I said where the hell do I go now, with peak season crowd in most of the good hotels. I drove around Mussoorrie for half an hr looking at hotels outide. I then remembered waht Navpreet told me - he mentioned a place - Claridges Nabha, I went there, just before Jaypee. Boy this place was awesome , it was full of course, but they had 2 rooms available. Big ones - Duplex rooms. They even gave me a discount !!! I paid 11000 /- ( 2nites 3days incl brkfast dinner ). This was a really good deal.
I loved the place and best part was wifey also loved the place. I parked my car just outside my room. We also had a lovely sitting area with table & couch just outside the room. I had a bottle of Absolut with me. Finished half of it in 2 days !! Lol
Overall lovely time I had, Roads were quite OK. Traffic was bad near meerut where they are widening the roads. I left yesterday from Mussoorie at 10:30 in the morning, drove straight to Cheetal which is I would say about 180 kms from mussoorie. Took me a little less than 4 hrs to do this bot as it was really pouring the last one hour. Had lunch at cheetal ( excellent place ), then drove straight to Badarpur Border via Delhi - Noida. Stopped at Nirulas on Badarpur Border. Then drove straight to agra. Total time - 11 hrs. Stoppage time around 2 hrs. Distance - 485 kms. Result - Bl***y tired.
Will post pics soon. Lemme know how to do this.
