Sunset at Gun Hill, Mussoorie

As a part of our journey to Char Dham Yatra, I am trying to share my precise experiences and showcase the mesmerizing beauty of the Garhwal Himalayan Ranges of Uttara Khand through the images caught up on my camera.

After Company Bagh, we visited Gun Hill point in Mussoorie. Gun Hill is the second top peak of Mussoorie, which is 500 meters uphill trek from Mall Road. There is a rope way also to go up the hill. But we preferred to trek up as a preparation for our difficult treks ahead in the trip. To be honest, many of us found trekking a mere 500 meters up hill was difficult. 

During pre-independence period there used to be a Gun mounted on the top and used to be fired at mid-day to enable people to adjust their watches. It provides 360 degree view of Himalayan ranges namely but we could hardly see any of these ranges due to clouds. What we could see was the beautiful sunset on western side of the hill. I am sharing some of these pictures for you. Here we go:

The Sun is about to set. Beautiful!







Look at the sky it's getting more and more Orange.



 Words are too small to describe the beauty. Just watch and enjoy







 The Sun is about to Kiss the Mountain. What a Beauty!


And here it did. Magnificent! Isn't it?




Now it's going to hide behind he Mountain. Awesome view.




 



 And finally, it says Good bye for today, with a promise to come again tomorrow.

It was really difficult for me to bring some of the best shots because I clicked as many shots not to miss this wonderful event of my life. I hope you liked them. If liked please subscribe the blog and share it with others. Thank you, keep watching the space for more updates.

Yamunotri in Images

From Lakhamandal Temple at Jaunsar Village, we traveled to Yamunotri and halted at Janaki chatti. Chatti means a hill in Gadwali language. The road journey to Yamunotri via Barkot, Syana chatti, Rana chatti and Hanuman chatti etc. is quite exciting and adventurous one passing through narrow roads with steep turns. The road passes through thrilling and exhilarating locations offering picturesque surroundings with awesome Deodhar trees, shrubs, lush meadows and gushing cascades. You will find the entire beauty of Gadwal mountain ranges. Two eyes doesn't seem enough looking at those beautiful mountains and valleys of Gadwal Himalayan ranges. Eyes get tired of watching the beauty of those mountains but still can't resist from looking at them. Janaki chatti is the last destination for a vehicle to halt for Yamunotri. It is 6 kilometers trek from here. We halted at a hotel in Janaki Chatti and trekked to Yamunotri the next morning. The picture below is the temple you find a...

Guruji's Vision on Bellur

As a part of my trip to Bellur, this is the second edition of my update on Bellur. In this I decided to share the vision of Guruji on Bellur and the developments that are taking place to fulfill his vision. Guruji had a vision on Bellur, his birth place. He saw the people of Bellur are suffering from Poverty, Illiteracy, Unemployment and ill-health. With a vision to help the people of Bellur he established a trust named after his parents "Bellur Krishnamachar and Seshamma Smaraka Nidhi Trust."  Under the Umbrella of this Trust, he established a High School, a College, a Hospital, a Yoga Hall etc imparting education, health and employment to the people of Bellur.

And rightly so, Guruji's Trust imparts the wealth of health throu...

B.K.S. Iyengar a renowned yogacharya needs no introduction to the yoga world. Born on December 14, 1918 in a remote village of Bellur took his name and fame  to the entire world. All his life he strive hard to take yoga to every individual across the world. Last year on 20 th of August 2014, he left his mortal body leaving his students and followers in a grief. I first met Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar on Guru Poornima day 4 years ago in Pune. Commemorating Guru Poornima 2015 on 31 st July and his first anniversary on 20 th of August 2015, I am presenting a collection of photos as a tribute to our beloved Guruji Sri. B.K.S. Iyengar. I love to capture the action found in the nature as it is so realistic and dynamic. It doesn’t pose for the camera to capture as humans do. But I found Guruji an exception in this case.  I always enjoyed taking his snaps and filming him every time I get the opportunity. It is a sheer joy and deligh...
