There was a couple from Mumbai and their friends on this trek and the couple was getting married at a temple near the snowline called Kunalpathri! Now after 6 years of trekking this is the first time I heard of anyone getting married at this altitude in the Himalayas apart from the locals! By the evening I had the pleasure of chatting both with the bride and the groom. They decided to do so because they had first met on a trek in the mountains. They said they would have another wedding in Mumbai for family and relatives as not everyone was willing to trek. I wonder if this idea would slowly spread? This wedding was organized by the trekking agency from McLeod Ganj.
That's such a great idea!
Look at this: http://priyank.com/travel/2006/07/22/celebrations-at-10500-ft/ !! These were locals but coincidence!PS: Good to have you back
I feel the same way, and they kept it quite simple too!Thanks for sharing the link Priyank, I remember reding it earlier too. However, for this one there was no band or crackers it was a very simple affair.
quite an interesting idea 🙂 i can get the feeling coz i proposed at the top of a hill too :)on the other hand, am a li'l concerned too … u have mentioned that they kept it simple. i hope, anybody else who follows this will keep it simple too … otherwise, it'll just be another farce to litter those pristine mountains 🙁
I know Sandeep, I too have the same worry. But I think things might remain simple because of the logistics itself.
wow…wonderful idea ya…getting married under blissful Himalayas..
I too thought so Megha but I also worry of this later becoming some kind of a publicity stunt.
