Himalayas: The Untouched Paradise

A paradise- Nako. You'll find here a high altitude lake which freezes during the winters- at 12,011 feet.

Early in the morning, when the waters are still, the magnificent snow covered peaks are reflected in the mirrory waters. To get it just right for Bharat Darshan: exploring the unexplored(TV Show), we Sukhnidhey Films (www.facebook.com/SukhnidheyFilms) trekked to the lake, beginning from our camps before sunrise.

 Photograph: Entire landscapes freeze during the winters in the might, heavenly Himalayas.

 And was truly awarded with an awesome sight.
Heavenly Himalayas. Incredible India!

THE GREAT INDIAN MIGRATION: A Celebration of photography

We all have seen glimpses of the great African migration, with huge herds of Wildebeest crossing the Mara river brimming with hungry crocodiles. Well, the spectacular African scene might make you miss a beat, but the photograph above shows its counterpart, which I call "The Great Indian Migration".

Taken in the Himalayas, we saw this herd of cows returning home from their grazing grounds on the other side of a furious Baspa river. The entire herd crossed the river on a fragile wooden plank resting on two wooden logs. Imagine the weight of 7 cows on such a bridge crossing the river all at the same time. Just a slight vibration in the wrong direction, and you could tell when the crude bridge would fall apart.

One can't expect modern bridges at 10,000 feet, you see. Isn't this migration similar to the African counterpart then? The difference, if any, is that the hungry crocs are played by the furious Baspa, ready to gulp any unfortunate cow.

On another note, this photograph depicts the magic of photography: the extraordinary capability to capture a moment and freeze it for eternity. On this World Photography Day, let me thank my dearest passion, for adding a multitude of colours to my life. How do you plan to celebrate this occasion? Do comment!

THE HEAVENLY HIMALAYAS

The Final Destination
Location: near Kunzum Pass, Himachal Pradesh
Description: A Buddhist Stupa near the Kunzum pass. The road to this pass offers   breathtaking views of the Himalayas, and some magnificent Stupas like this, which transport one to the abode of the Almighty, our final destination.

So, after hours of careful selection and multiple rounds of filtering, I have finally been successful in selecting the best out of the shots I clicked in the Incredible India state Himachal Pradesh-- indeed unforgettable. I have sorted them out in two pages in the tab above: 'THE HIMALAYAN LANDSCAPE' and 'HIMALAYAN WILDLIFE'. Do join this unforgettable tour to the Himalayas, and you'll see a secret world, never seen before.
Happy journey!
