I love walking, there is so therapeutic about it. To me a nice holiday always includes a walk. And the holiday with Hail Himalayas (on invitation) was super nice because it included a trek to a waterfall. It was a nice, clear day with blue skies. While walking it is also never too cold. Jeevak,…

Night Sky at Hail Himalayas
I tried my hand to click the night sky at Hail Himalayas this time. The night sky had about a million more stars at Hail Himalayas than I see in the cities. In the city sometimes I have to search really hard to find even a few stars. I have always been fascinated by the night…
Blue Skies from Jagatsukh, Himachal Pradesh
I am missing my mountains. The last time I ventured that way was in June (Nepal) but I got too much rain and clouds. So, when I was rummaging through my old pictures of the blue skies from Jagatsukh appealed to my senses instantly. Jagatsukh is just 6 km away from Manali but it is…
My 5 Most Cherished Treks
I need one major trek every year to cope with my daily grind. And I eagerly look forward to it every year. I tried to trek through Annapurna Circuit in Nepal in June 2013 and the next major trek is now going to happen in June 2014 only. Yet I think of it daily and…
Beautiful Skies from Jagatsukh
For today’s sky watch I once again fall back on the mountains, my first love. My last visit was to Jagatsukh near Manali and I share two pictures from there. Manali is overrun with tourists now but just go away a little from the main town and you will find places like Jagatsukh! I like…
Landscapes from Jagatsukh, Himachal Pradesh
Walking around in the hills is my favorite past time. And this time in Jagatsukh I walked at least for 8 hours in three sessions. I should actually say I was on the road for 8 hours because for most of the time I would stop and click pictures. I don’t know why the landscapes…
Khakhnal, Himachal Pradesh
I visited a small village in Himachl Pradesh called Khakhnal. It is the next village after Jagatsukh towards Naggar. I love walking and I love walking in the mountains. So one fine evening after a lot of good food at Ramakant ji’s home I decided to go for an evening walk all alone. It was…
Which is Your Favorite State in India?
I know a lot of you will scream and say, this is an unfair question. I know you might have more than one favorite states in India. I think I will find it hard to answer it myself. But so what if it is difficult? It has to be tired. But to answer it I…
Spring Blossoms
This was probably the first time I went to the hills in March. While you can visit the hills in any seasons March brings out the spring blossoms and it is beyond pretty. I have seen a bit of blossoms before but this time they were putting on a regal display! There were two apple…
Flowers for You!
I am very fond of clicking flowers, though recently it does not reflect in my posts. So I am going to correct it. Today I am going to post a bunch of flowers all clicked around Jagatsukh. And I have enough flowers for 2-3 weeks and that is without rummaging my folders! When we took…
