The temperatures are slowly raising from the lows of the winter, and as the mercury is moving up, I am reminded of the cooler climes of the high mountains. The days are still pleasant where I live, and it is still early to approach the mighty Himalayas, but the dream of these mountains is already haunting me. A few images from the highlands from my past sojourns.
Evening sun on Nanda Devi.
A Cable car makes its way up at Auli
Chandra river flowing in Lahaul, Himachal
Chandratal Lake in Lahaul
Ki Monastery, Spiti Valley
And finally, an alpine Lake in Sikkim
Amazing.
Pictures speak for themselves, I can keep on looking on these pictures for hours.
Spellbinding pictures.
You are almost provoking us to plan a visit to Lahaul – Spiti this summer.
Nice pics Arun… really like the way the mountains have been captured in the frame. They awe you by their majestic stance and their insurmountable beauty…
You’ve made my day! These pictures make me realise why monks and saints love the mountains. You’ve presented a treasure trove of positive energy.
What pics. Wow. Probably you knew that more text would kill the beauty. I would also not write too big a comment and cherish the visuals.
Thanks for the comments folks..
Superb photographs Arun – all of them. Himalayan mountains never fail to inspire awe.
Is the last picture that of ‘Himalayan’ Lake Samiti of the Zemathang region near Mt. Pandim? If so, I’ve been there.
Yes Celine, it is. I know you have been there :)
