Road Trippin in the Himalayas!!!

Road Trip in the monsoons in the hills, that too in the Himalayas is not a clever thing to do..anyone call tell.....
On the other hand, it's a unique experience!!!!!....And I simply loved it when i when I went one in the last month!!

It so happened, that in the middle of monsoons this August, I got the chance to visit a remote place called Sorang in Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh(also called as 'Dev bhumi' or land of gods!!) on a work trip at a  Hydro Power Project.

And the place being really remotely located, we spent more time on the road via rain, clouds, fog and some pleasant sunshine among lovely green mountains  on our project site  (culminating in a lovely misty evening spent in Shimla)!!!
I share some images of the trip with you guys here



















In case you are not much of a mountain person, check out my article series on Andaman & Nicobar published on 'The Other Home' blog.

Beautiful Photographs !

One request, please don't spoil the pics by putting a watermark in their middle. Others copying your pics is a sort of compliment in itself. :)
