Purple Sunbird Yet Again!
Clicked this one too at Rishikesh. When you see this I would be traveling. A short weekend trip. More details when I come back.
Skywatch Friday- The Ram Jhula at Dusk
I clicked this at the bank of the Ganges at Rishikesh. There are two bridges called Jhulas and this is one of them called Ram Jhula. You can see some images of the other, Laxman Jhula here. For more beautiful skies from around the world please visit the Skywatch page.
The Laxman Jhula, Rishikesh
This time we stayed quite close to Laxman Jhula at Rishikesh, so we were in the middle of the city. As usual, we had not booked a room beforehand. I often thought we would not dare to do that with Chhavi around but then some habits are very difficult to change. So, when we took…
The Shops at Rishikesh
The shops at Rishikesh were colorful and attractively decorated. I am very fond of stones found on the riverside so I had to click these stones (I think they are sold as a religious object?) I don’t know how they make them this ultra smooth? I actually clicked this shop because the evening light was falling…
The Atmosphere at Rishikesh
With Chhavi photography takes a back seat. So on day two I woke up early and decided to devote two hours to taking pictures. The light played spoilsport though. On day one when we had just arrived and looking for a hotel at 7.00 am or so there was golden light. On day two there…

A Trip to Khurpatal, Nainital and a Stay at Dynasty Resorts in Uttranchal
I went on a short trip to Khurpatal, 10 km ahead of Nainital on a college sponsored trip. We stayed at the Dynasty Resorts which is secluded and next to a small lake but I feel their normal rates are a bit too high. I visited Nainital again after ages. Last that I can remember…
Another Tale from Kuari Pass Trek, Uttranchal Himalayas, India
We met three fabulous people on the trek through Kuari Pass in Uttranchal Himalayas (India) this June. Sonu was our guide for the trek and Vikrant and Virendra owned the horses that carried our luggage. I have talked about in a post before. This tale belongs to Sonu and he told it to us when…
Longing for Some 10 KMPH Days Again!
This time when I came back from the Kuari Pass trek, I felt totally disconnected from my day to day life. Now, two and a half months later, I can barely remember the trek. Life is flashing past me in a whirl of activities and I feel overwhelmed at times. Then, I know it is…
