Taktsang Lhakhang
It took hours of hiking to reach Taktsang Lhakhang or the Tiger\'s Nest Monastery near Paro, Bhutan, one of the most sacred sites in this Himalayan country. Perched on a cliff high up in the mountain, this place can be reached only by foot, horse or a flying tiger. I wish I could fly...

Toronto Biking

April 28, 2007Route Map
3 of us went on a long [tag]biking[/tag] trip spanning about 46km. We started from York University, went west from Steeles Av. until we hit the [tag]Humber[/tag] river tributary after Islington Av. From there was a fun ride south along the river, thru the forests and parks, right upto [tag]Lake Ontario[/tag]. We then went east along the coast into the city and finished at Union Station. So we covered the north-south extremes of [tag]Toronto[/tag] ;)

It was a pleasant weather. Somehow I like mildly cloudy sky:

Spring was just arriving. The trees looked more brown than green:

People fishing near the Old Mill Bridge. Later, the trail passes under the subway station, it looks fantastic.

Finally we crisscrossed under a maze of freeways and Go Train lines to reach the Humber River Bridge. This is the point where the river merges into Lake Ontario:

Sailbots at Yacht Clubs:

And finally, our [tag]bicycle[/tag]s

Any guesses how we went back to the university? Subway and Bus…! Thats right, we are allowed to carry bikes :)

    Interesting pics.. I have seen those canadian geese here too.. :)
    I think biking around is the best way to visit new places(next to running).. And if you have a group of guys doing that, even more fun..

    Coming here after a long time. Have now added you in my list so now I won’t miss any new posts. :)

    Priyank, you have clicked wonderful pictures. Never been to Canada but now I too want to go there. :)

    And yes, more daylights cause difficulty in adjustments. When I was in Europe, I had to shut the shutter windows to make the room dark in order to get a sleep. :P

    Btw, if you don’t remember my other blog is http://cuculuss.blogspot.com

    Keep coming on my both the blogs.
