Posted on September 21, 2016May 14, 2025

This year there has been a deficit of mountains in my life. But my trip to explore Landour with Rokeby Manor was one beautiful trip. I had initially planned for three nights with my kind hosts. But due to date constraints, I had to cut it to two nights. I regretted every minute that I was…

The Cozy White Peaks Homestay at Gagar, Uttarakhand

Posted on April 12, 2016May 17, 2025

I am a hill person, I must have been born in the plains by mistake in this life. I am always happy to travel to the hills, even though it often means an early morning start for catching the Shatabdi Express train. My visit to The White Peaks at Gagar, Uttarakhand was no different. I…

Beautiful Fagu Himachal Pradesh, India

Posted on February 20, 2015May 27, 2025

I am a big mountain fan and I am blessed that I live in India, the home to the Himalayas. And if I want more there is always Nepal and Bhutan next door. However our ‘main’ hill stations like Shimla, Manali, Nainital etc. are extremely crowded, particularly over holidays and weekends. They are over constructed…

A Letter to the Mountain Gods- Please Call it a Truce!

Posted on February 6, 2015May 27, 2025

Dear Mountain Gods, You know how I worship your domain. Every little holiday I can scrape through, I try to run to your highest adobe, the Himalayas. Do you remember the days when I used to be your favorite child, when you would let me see so much beauty on my various treks and trips?…

Kareri Village, Himachal Pradesh, India

The Beautiful Kareri Village in Pictures

Posted on February 3, 2015May 27, 2025

There have been occasions when while posting a picture I have thought, “well I probably made it look better than it actually was!” On the other hand for each of the Kareri Village pictures I can safely say that the picture is actually inferior to the scenes. Try as I may, I was not able…

Mountains, My Love

This is the first post from the new domain, about my first love, mountains. First off two big thank yous are due, first to Max Hartshorne, editor of Gonomad, who gave me my first break. You and Gonomad will always remain special. Second one is due to my brother-in-law Amrit Hallan who managed my domain shift…

Beautiful Blue Skies from Jagatsukh, Himachal Pradesh

Posted on September 6, 2013June 19, 2025

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…

Morning at Timang, Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal

Posted on July 19, 2013May 12, 2021

Timang is a small village on the Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal. I reached there while walking back after a lot of bad weather at Letdar. The sky was almost always overcast throughout this trek. The night I was at Timang was exceptionally clear and the entire range was bathed in moonlight. I was just…

Jagatsukh, Himachal Pradesh, India

Beautiful Skies from Jagatsukh

Posted on April 19, 2013May 17, 2021

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…
