A Winter Morning - Haldwani Railway Station

A Winter Morning - Haldwani Railway Station

On the overnight train from New Delhi to Haldwani, to start our 8day/90Kms winter hike to the Sunderdunga Glacier in the beautiful Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. Haldwani is the last railway station before we hit the foothills of the Himalayas to enter the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. From Haldwani, it's a 6/7hrs bus journey through the mountain roads to reach the small town of Bageshwar, and then a Jeep ride to a village called Saung, from where we actually start the hike.....

The Milky Way....

The Milky Way....

On a cold winter night
Lit by the faint mountain light
Sitting by the wood fire
In a remote Himalayan shire
Sipping hot tea with a desire
To capture the star lit sky
Jolted out of a deep thought, you realize
And surprised to see its sheer size
Running across the expanse of the sky
The Milky Way makes you sigh!

Hues of Green

Hues of Green

This was enroute Chembra peak, Wayanad. The sunlight along with the Tea estates and the natural tropical green forests created different hues of green...and it was a wonderful sight!
