Sameer Travels

You can find Sameer Travels right inside Har Ki Podi on the Upper Rod. Anyone who knows this area understands how busy it gets with all the pilgrims and visitors. We are right in the middle of all that activity. Helping people find cars or buses to get to their next destination is what we do. It is a noisy spot, but it feels like the heart of the town. Thousands of people pass by here every day on their way to the water. Our office is small, with just enough room for a desk and some chairs for guests. Maps and schedules are tacked up all over the walls because there is no other space for them. Sometimes the traffic on the Upper Rod gets so bad that walking is the only way to get anywhere. We spend a lot of time explaining routes to tourists so they do not get lost. It is often the same directions over and over, but that is fine with us. We have been doing this for a long time and know all the local drivers. Knowing which roads are blocked or busy is just part of the job. This is not a luxury agency; it is a place for regular people needing a ride. People often stop by just to ask for help, and we tell them what we know. The sound of temple bells is always in the air. It is a busy life, but being near the water is nice. We just stay here and work.
