Capturing the first sun-rays on the Mt.Trishul peak was a delight in itself. The vibrant colors of the sunrise which gives a cool blue effect on the photograph is a photographers delight. Adjusting the foreground which is generally dark at that time of the day test the capabilities of the photographer and their machines!! . Here we were standing in the chilly morning at Ali Bugyal waiting for the first rays to hit the middle peak of the mountain. Luckily for us the the sky was clear and we had a clear view of the huge mountain in front of us. And when the first rays hit the snow-capped peak - it was ethereal - the golden hues, the haze on the peak and the color were a teat to watch. . Here is what I could capture at that moment!! #travelphotography  #himalyangeographic  #instahimalayas #mypixeldiary #yourshotphotographer #tripotocommunity #lonelyplanetindia #photographers_of_india #story #landscapephotography #sky_brilliance #adventure #fantastic_earth #mountains #mountainlove #wanderlust #hiking #nature #backpacking #adventurespirit #wilderness #travelblog #outdoorenthusiastsonly #travelingindia #neverstopexploringmexico #hikerslife #wildernessculturehhhub #beautifuldestinations❤️ #landscape #travel (at Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGt8rtcAcjj/?igshid=gpa12evyw2er

Views of Nandaghunti & Trishul from Bedni Bugyal. . Bugyals are alpine pasture lands, or meadows, in higher elevation range between 3,300 metres (10,800 ft) and 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) of the Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, where they are called "nature’s own gardens". The topography of the terrain is either flat or sloped. The surface of these bugyals is covered with natural green grass and seasonal flowers. They are used by tribal herdsmen to graze their cattle. During the winter season the alpine meadows remain snow-covered. During summer months, the Bugyals present a riot of beautiful flowers and grass. As bugyals constitute very fragile ecosystems, particular attention needs to be given for their conservation. Bugyal is a fragile ecosystem and it is essential to maintain a balance between ecology and environment. . #travelphotography #himalyangeographic #instahimalayas #mypixeldiary #yourshotphotographer #tripotocommunity #lonelyplanetindia #photographers_of_india #story #landscapephotography #sky_brilliance #adventure #fantastic_earth #mountains #mountainlove #wanderlust #hiking #nature #backpacking #adventurespirit #wilderness #travelblog #outdoorenthusiastsonly #travelingindia #neverstopexploringmexico #hikerslife #wildernessculturehhhub #beautifuldestinations❤️ #landscape #travel (at Bedni and Ali Bugyal, Uttarakhand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxDNiAAOdW/?igshid=14p34nyf50hg7

Reflection of Nandaghunti & Trishul on the Bedni Kund (Vaitarani) a small artificial lake built with a concrete dyke by reclaiming a marshy wetlands. . 10kms from here at the base of Mt.Trishul is the Roopkund lake which is covered by snow for 10mts in a year and only in the months of summer do the clear waters of the lake is visible. From this place to its west, views of the Himalayan peaks of the Gangotri, the Trishul and the Nanda Ghunti provide a scenic backdrop. There are two shrines here, one a small temple of Nanda Devi and the other a shrine for Latu. The temple is built with stones without using any mortar but moss growth is seen in the crevices. The Nanda Devi temple has two small carved stone images of the goddess and a pure white conch shell. Medicinal herbs are found here. The Brahm Kamal (Saussurea obvallata) a rare mytholigical & legendary plant named after Brahma, the Creator of Universe and it is said to bloom for only 1 night in the entire year, blooms here. . #travelphotography #himalyangeographic #instahimalayas #mypixeldiary #yourshotphotographer #tripotocommunity #lonelyplanetindia #photographers_of_india #story #landscapephotography #sky_brilliance #adventure #fantastic_earth #mountains #mountainlove #wanderlust #hiking #nature #backpacking #adventurespirit #wilderness #travelblog #outdoorenthusiastsonly #travelingindia #neverstopexploringmexico #hikerslife #wildernessculturehhhub #beautifuldestinations❤️ #landscape #travel (at Bedni and Ali Bugyal, Uttarakhand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxFZWeAtht/?igshid=1ml5mrcu9jj9b

Manikaran Gurudwara, Near Kasol,Himachal Pradesh || Located in Parvati Valley on river Parvati. It is at a walkable distance of approx 3 km from Kasol. This place is worth a visit. . Some pretty interesting info I found on wiki ~ The Hindus believe that Manu recreated human life in Manikaran after the flood, making it a sacred area. It has many temples and a gurudwara. There are temples of the Hindu deities Rama, Krishna, and Vishnu. The area is well known for its hot springs and its beautiful landscape. According to legend, when the Hindu God Shiva and his consort Parvati were walking in the valley, Parvati dropped one of her earrings. The jewel was seized by Shesha, the serpent deity, who then disappeared into the earth with it. Shesha only surrendered the jewel when Shiva performed the cosmic dance, the Tandava and shot the jewel up through the water. Apparently, jewels continued to be thrown up in the waters at Manikaran until the 1905 Kangra earthquake.
