I have yet to stitch this picture but anywayI will just post the update version later when I upload the rest of the pic.
After I m back in Mumbai next month
click on the image to see a bigger pic.
At Talii camping site
A dog at guarding our tent as we
climbed the mountain to get
a view of the peaks before sunset.

at the top on time
The picture below is from the mountain top
The pink & blue dots at the rightside(bottom of the pic.)
hard to spot are our tent, The blue one is our kitchen tent.
Whereas the white shinning spot in the center is a lake
(I had take a pic of it on the next day at 5 am)
On our way to Talii hoping the sky to clear up before the sunset
So we decided to start a trek through Auli which is a considered a tourist destination for winter sport and you can take a rope way to the place also.We procided to Talii and decided to camp just before the normal camping site where we would climb the mountain and will be able to see the sunset if the weather is clear.
the trek start at this temple we had on fear that the next camping site may be crowded as in the above pic the two trekkers ahead of us were also moving toward our destination but it turned out that they will camp just a little ahead of this temple.
The point for taking the picture was the dense forest that you see behind it might be gone in few yrs time maybe next time you visit you might not find it.
the tree where the two girls are resting
has a number engraved on it
you can see in clearly in the next pic.
the number is indication that it is the no:1093 tree which is going to be cut to make a space for the winter sport in this area.
Anyway
Trail takes you through pristine rhododendron, deodar forests, lush green fields and virgin forests. Providing an enchanting view of the imposing peaks of Nanda Devi , Kamet ,Chaukhamba, Dronagiri and Hathi-Ghodi Parvat.
So after a long discussion with our guide Dinesh we decided to take Kauri Pass Trek,
also known as Curzon's trek but since it's a more frequented trek we decided
to take a diversion from the common trek and go to Delisera
will also try climbing the Pangerchula peak 5144 m near Kauri pass
On reaching Joshomath we took a guide so that we got just leave the town as soon as possible and were in the mountain but again there was an another problem that was it would take him a day to arrange for the potter, cook and prepare for a trip and we were left with a day on hand so we decided to take a trip to a Tapoban a peaceful place known for its hot springs
took a walk to the last village on the Indo China border
Manna which is 3.5 km from Badrinath
it was late by the time we got back to Badrinath
After a overnight stay be moved back to Joshimath early in the morning
By the time we reached Joshimath we were one day late on our planned trip and the other problem that we had was that the route that we had in our mind was not yet opened for trekking so we had to make a alternative plan so we decided to visit the Badrinath Temple and decide what to do on our way to the temple and back.
Only way to travel to the destination is
by a Taxi or Local Bus. But if local usually travel by
the Bus so we took our trip with them
sitting next to the driver
as he took us on the narrow
landslide frequented road to our destination
Joshimath a popular centre of pilgrimage where people from around India and abroad come to visit the Badrinath Temple(is one the four sacred shrines -Dham of pilgrimage for Hindus) at a hight of 3133 metre from sea level and the Narasimha Temple(at joshimath) also Hemkunt Sahib which is situated 4000 mt above sea level, 40 Km from Joshimath. The Sikh Pilgrimage.
Being a half day behind our schedule. We reached Delhi.
The half lit sign board at the New Delhi railway station.
It is the true identity of the city well depicted by the board,
The half lit sign board at the New Delhi railway station.
It is the true identity of the city well depicted by the board,
a place there is more chances of getting cheated
or getting misguided by people.
So I have always preferred a speedy exit from the city
And we were on our way to Reshikesh (a town of ashrams and temples)
To our way to joshimath (The ancient name was Jyotirmath)
