Delhi, the historical capital of India, is all about stories of the past. Among several landmarks, there’s one unusual place that stands out as a whispered legend of supernatural intrigue known as Machla Mahal. The place is still shrouded in mystery.

Let’s find out more about this mysterious place.

History of Malcha Mahal

For those who don’t know, Malcha Mahal is a Tughlaq-era hunting lodge built in 1325 by Feroz Shah Tughlaq. The palace is situated in Malcha, which is one of the pretty hamlets around Raisina Hill.

For centuries, the mansion remained abandoned before a mysterious family started living there. The family claimed to be descendants of the Nawab of Awadh. Wilayat Mahal, head of the family, along with her son Ali Raza and daughter Sakina Mahal started living inside the palace. She claimed to be the great-granddaughter of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah and for years, she used to live near the New Delhi station.

She demanded the Indian government to return her ancestral property, which was seized by the British illegally. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, got involved in this and after looking at the miserable condition of the family ordered to find a residence for Wilayat Mahal. Eventually Malcha Mahal was given to them and the family moved into the property in 1985.

Haunted tales

As per locals, the palace is haunted by the spirit of Begum Wilayat Mahal. She committed suicide after allegedly gulping down crushed diamonds. The last member of this mysterious royal family Prince Ali Raza also died in 2017. He was found dead inside the palace.

The reputation of Machla Mahal as one of the most haunted places in Delhi attracts a number of paranormal enthusiasts and thrill-seekers. Several visitors come here in the hopes of an eerie encounter, laced with modern cameras and voice recorders. Some also carry ghost-hunting equipment.

But irrespective of Machla Mahal’s haunted reputation, the place remains an important part of Delhi's historical heritage and it stands as a witness to the city's rich past.

Solace at hill, under the Moonlight

Hello,

Nice to meet you all. It’s been a long time coming. I have been procrastinating from past year. Something we shouldn’t be proud of and I’m not either but that’s how I found the courage to take the first step and let the rest fall in time.

My first solo trip. A trip for which all the arrangements were made at the very last moment, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that it was in my mind long before I started talking about it.

A Solo trip, like everyone else I am hoping to find myself and have a better answer for WHO I AM which includes more than my profession. Well, that’s what I thought before going on one and seeing multiple videos about it. I got the idea of going on this trip from my mom. She is the one who bought a trekking bag for me. The moment I saw the bag a scene from “Yeh Jawani Hai Dewani” flashed when Bunny got a bag from his father with the list of things, he should be careful of. Well! That’s exactly the case with my mom. On one hand, she is one who taught me to live my life on my terms but at the same time, she was worried. Still, she helped me pack my stuff and cooked dinner for me to eat later at night while traveling. 

I booked a cab and left my home with the hope to have the best time of my life. I was not scared rather I was excited to embark on this beautiful journey. I reached the station 1 hour before bus timings, like any typical Indian. Hahaha… and as I was standing at the bus stop after covering a 2-hour journey via cab and a metro as far as I could see I couldn’t find anyone who was standing alone with the heavy bag on their shoulder. All I could see was a group of friends laughing, eating Cheetos, and making fun of each other, while their eyes were shining brighter than the sun and their souls were beaming with light. Like, everything is perfect as it should be. And as I was focused on them, suddenly I heard a lady in a yellow saree and a red cardigan, with a big red bindi on her forehead and kajal in her eyes. She seems like a goddess at first glance. She was shouting at her son who was wearing a thin white T-shirt, blue jeans, and Black shoes. She was forcing him to buy the gloves and cap so that he won’t be cold and as usual like any other teenager he was acting as if he don’t know her.

Gosh! I remembered my first trip with my friends, my mother gave me a blanket even though she knew that I was going to have a blanket on the bus and at the hotel, but she insisted. Without saying anything I packed it with other essentials because deep down I knew it was her way of saying to be safe and extra careful and don’t you dare catch a cold.

While looking at everyone around me, I was like a river, my heart was racing, and my mind was calm and eager to meet new people. A Moment of peace, and with that thought I started my journey from Delhi to Triund.

I’ll explain the logistics in another article.

I sat on the bus and noted there were very few people who were on my bus. I thought not a very good start ha.. but let’s see what the sunshine will bring the next day. I reached the Mcloedganj at 7 in the morning and started the Triund trek around 11 after having breakfast with a group of 9 people. Everyone with a different background, culture, career, and place. As we all move forward together, we shared who we are, most of them were Teachers, and there were a few athletes who aim to be army officers and a Businessperson.

Ohh!! Shoot. I forgot to mention one important guest who joined us.

Any guesses???

Well! There is one thing about that place and in fact most of the mountains in North India that we always found a four-legged friend who will join us for the ride. And that’s what happened, a dog joined us along the way and made our journey more fun, and without realizing it, he became the center of the group. 

The weather was pleasing.

 Green grass, blue sky, rocky roads, heavy breaths, soothing music, chai stalls, colorful small buds, and a will to reach the top.

That’s how the journey was. It’s like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don’t know what was in the air up there, but everything seems peacefully intriguing. As the air was brushing against my cheeks and letting my hair set free. I could hear every thought, notice every moment, and soak it all in.

Why couldn’t we see all these things in our daily lives? As the eyes of the beholder are the same, maybe we are too busy or too tired to lift our heads and see the peace we all are looking for, is right within ourselves.       

From starting point to the base camp, the journey was filled with lots of emotions – We were tired but relentless. There were moments when everyone else around me disappear and it was just me walking uphill. Navigating on my own. Kind of, like Dora.

At that very moment, I didn’t want to have a distraction from the camera, I just wanted to walk and give my brain some rest as it has been sprinting for the past few months. I believe that’s what the trek was all about, teaching us to spend time with ourselves, and helping us to realize that it’s not only about the destination but the journey that teach us. It was a journey that bought 10 people with different backgrounds together. It was a journey where we all helped each other without any expectations.  

With this long ride, I learned to be present and not just show up. After all, this one life can slip away when we are not paying attention.

Anyway, as we continued to leave our footprints along the way and by having a sip of water WE FINALLY REACHED.

The feeling of accomplishment with the cold air brushing against our faces, was a vault heaven. It was a moment where we have our world. We found solace at the surface and floating at the top.

My world, was a girl sitting on top of the hill watching the sunset. It was serene. The colors – Yellow, Orange, mustard, dark brown, kind of black, shades of purple, blue, and white as well, then there it was a teeny tiny star above all. And it’s not all there was a full moon at the opposite end of this. Mesmerizing chaos.

And I realized that’s how poets gave birth to poetry.

They found the beauty in chaos,

Solace in the rain,

 and Silence in the words

 to keep the storm at shores.    

And as the sun went down, we had our dinner and sat around a bonfire under the moonlight creating magical moments. Later., we slept at the top of the hill, having chills but we were happy, peaceful, and unbothered.

                                                                                              To be continued…

With its enchanting forests, stunning views, and rich cultural experience, the Kedarkantha Trek is an adventure of a lifetime.

Why Choose the Kedarkantha Trek?

The Kedarkantha Trek is popular among trekkers for many reasons. From the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the exhilarating trek through thick pine forests, this adventure offers something for everyone.

1. A Moderate Trek for All Levels

Unlike many other treks that are more suited to experienced trekkers, the Kedarkantha Trek is known for being moderately difficult, making it accessible to beginners and seasoned trekkers alike. Its relatively short duration, which typically spans 4 to 5 days, makes it an ideal trekking option for those looking to experience the Himalayas without a lengthy commitment.

2. Mesmerizing Views and Scenic Beauty

The Kedarkantha Trek is all about the views. The trek offers spectacular panoramas of snow-covered peaks like Swargarohini, Black Peak, Bandarpunch, and the majestic Kedarkantha Peak. The forests, valleys, and lakes that dot the landscape along the route further enhance the trek’s charm.

The Journey Begins: Delhi to Dehradun

The adventure begins with an overnight journey from Delhi, the capital city of India, to Dehradun, the gateway to numerous treks in Uttarakhand. Dehradun is a charming hill station nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, known for its lush green landscapes and pleasant weather.

1. Delhi to Dehradun: The Road to Adventure

The journey from Delhi to Dehradun is approximately 250 kilometers and takes about 6-7 hours by road. This scenic drive takes you through the lush greenery of the Garhwal region, offering a glimpse of the beauty that awaits you on the trek. Travelers can also choose to take a train or flight to Dehradun, depending on their preference. Once in Dehradun, there’s a chance to explore the local attractions before heading to Sankri.

2. Dehradun: Gateway to the Himalayas

Dehradun is an excellent place to rest and acclimatize before the trek. The town offers a range of attractions, including the Robber’s Cave, Mindrolling Monastery, and the famous Clock Tower. It’s also the place to pick up any last-minute supplies or gear for the trek.

The Scenic Drive to Sankri: The Base of the Trek

From Dehradun, the trek continues to Sankri, a small village that serves as the base camp for the Kedarkantha Trek. Sankri is located around 200 kilometers from Dehradun, and the drive takes you through picturesque hill stations and dense forests, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

1. Dehradun to Sankri: A Beautiful Route

The drive from Dehradun to Sankri takes approximately 7 to 8 hours, passing through the beautiful towns of Mussoorie, Nainbagh, and Purola. Along the way, travelers are treated to views of terraced fields, small villages, and lush green forests, with the towering peaks of the Himalayas in the distance.

Once you arrive at Sankri, you'll be greeted by the serene atmosphere of the village, where your trek to Kedarkantha will begin.

3. Summit Day: Kedarkantha Peak

Summit day is the highlight of the Kedarkantha Trek. The climb to the top of Kedarkantha Peak, standing at 12,500 feet, is the most challenging part of the trek. The trail is steep and snow-covered, but the reward is worth it. From the summit, trekkers are treated to panoramic views of the Swargarohini, Bandarpunch, and Black Peak mountains, as well as the beautiful valleys below. Watching the sunrise from the summit is a truly awe-inspiring experience.

Descent: Kedarkantha to Sankri

Best Time to Trek to Kedarkantha
