Smokey Mountains View from New Tehri of Tehri Range, Uttarakhand

One of the most memorable places where I have stayed for a month or so. In a small but busy hilly town, New Tehri in Uttarakhand. All the views are from the same place - From the terrace suite of Hotel Rishi Ganga.

The view of the smoky mountain of Tehri range where the Tehri lake is visible down below the smoke clouds. In some of the photographs, you can clearly see the sunlight passing through the clouds and fog to create a mesmerising effect.

The cover music Smoky mountains aptly goes with the scenery in the pictures; our own Smoky Tehri mountains rather than smoky mountains in Texas. Enjoy the video. If you like the content, do send out some nice and motivational words. #smokymountains​

Trek to top of Madhavoorpara Mountain via the Bamboo Bridge

About today around 3 years ago on 7th July 2018; a short trek to top of Madhoorpara mountain/temple nearby Trivandrum, Kerala. Had to take a bridge made of bamboo to reach the top. The weather was comfortable with good winds blowing and the creaks of the bamboo bridge could also be heard.

Boat Stories from way back in 2015

Navigating the boat over the mountain to only realize that,
 at the top of one mountain, there's another mountain.

At - Kasol, Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India in May 2015

Ever heard about the David Scott Trail in Meghalaya??

Out from the archives, the pictures from David Scott Trail in Meghalaya visited in September 2009; almost 11 years back.

The starting point of the trek near Mawphlang village

This 16km trek is part of the horse cart trail which was built to connect Assam and Bangladesh during the nineteenth century.

The highest point of the Trek

The trail is named after David Scott who operated around Khasi hills for almost 30 years and he was the first British administrator to be sent to North East India during the British Raj.

Another view of the hanging bridge

This is one of the oldest trekking routes in Meghalaya starting from Mawphlang (nearer to Shillong) ending at Ladmawphlang (near to Cherrapunji). We were accompanied by two Khasi localities who took us to the highest points of the trail, returned back since we didn't have time to complete the 16km trek till Ladmawphlang, and had to return back to Shillong before the evening.

We continued our descent towards Mawphlang

Every bend threw up something new. Rolling hills with every kind of green shade; the deep valley; the red and white flowers peeping out through the greens; the crystal clear waters in the natural pools; the sparkling river appearing and disappearing.

Enjoying the panoramic view of the Khasi Hills
