Bombay Calling…

The shady underworld, the all-powerful dons, the quintessential downpours, the crowded suburban trains, and the ever-growing diverse populace! Bombay was the stuff movies were made of!

Akathumuri

Tales from a sleepy little lakeside village.

The Journey Begins

There are no foreign lands, it is the traveler only who is foreign.

Wandering in the clouds... . . The 8th flight in a year... And it has only been a year since I started flying. . . To more window seats, cappuchinos and sunsets ❣️

The Ganges, Cradle of Indian civilization... . . My Himalayan hobnobbing took me from the source of the Ganges and through its journey from Bhagirathi in the mountains to the mighty Ganges in the plains. The one thing I noticed as it travelled down the mountains to human settlement areas, is the pollution. . The sparkling river you could see in the mountains slowly gave way to the vagaries of human usage, becoming more and more polluted as it reached the plains. The Ganga at Haridwar is shockingly dirty, traditions and religious beliefs being the major criminals. . . It's time to wake up people, you are destroying your lifeline. . . . . Shiv Ghat, Haridwar Oct '19 Night sight on Google Pixel .

Surya Kund, Gangotri . . Surya Kund has been mentioned in various scriptures throughout history. It is said that this is the place where the Sun first touches the Earth and hence the name. . At the bottom of the waterfall is a rock formation in the shape of a 'shivling' which can be only be seen in winter months when most of the river practically freezes. . BTW, it is beautiful!❣️ . Gangotri, Uttarkhand Oct '19 17/75 #teampixel

Under the stars 🌠✨.... . . . Woke up in the morning to find a fine layer of snow covering the ground. The nearby stream had frozen and we had to break through the ice to get a glass of water to make coffee. . Boy, it was cold!!☃️ . . Tapovan, Uttarakhand Oct '19 . . . . . .#oph #lenscaptureofficial #moodygrams #indiapictures #india #indiagram #desi_diaries #indianphotographyclub #storiesofindia #incredible_india #travelgram #travelrealindia #photographers_of_india #discover_india__ #india_pixelz #india_everyday #indiainframe #4tographers_hub #teampixel #snapseedindia #pixelnofilter @madebygoogle @googlepixel @snapseed.in #anunaysood #itsnaksh @story.of.himalayas #storyofhimalayas

It's a long road ahead.... . . . Uttarakhand is full of such metal suspension bridges, something that I don't see a lot in my part of the world. . . Uttarkashi was a good place for a mid-stop, full of rolling hills to stretch our legs, thatched roofs where cars were parked, and fluffy little doggies who followed us everywhere. . . . . . . . . . .#oph #lenscaptureofficial #moodygrams #indiapictures #india #indiagram #desi_diaries #indianphotographyclub #storiesofindia #incredible_india #travelgram #travelrealindia #photographers_of_india #discover_india__ #india_pixelz #india_everyday #indiainframe #4tographers_hub #teampixel #snapseedindia #pixelnofilter @madebygoogle @googlepixel @snapseed.in #anunaysood #itsnaksh @story.of.himalayas #storyofhimalayas

The mountains had been calling me for 22 years, and this time, I answered. Tapovan is at the base of Mt. Shivling, at a height of 14700 feet and a temperature of -6°C at nights. At this height, you get only 11.8% oxygen in the atmosphere, less than half the normal value. . The Tapovan trek is touted as one of the hardest in India, and mind you, it really WAS hard. After an almost vertical climb of 2 km, you reach a flat area, the highest grassland in India, and the base of the mountain. A night under the stars in the majestic Himalayas is a gentle reminder about how infinitesimally small you are, how little your troubles matter and how little you know about this world. . . Worth all the pain, I would say😋 . . Tapovan Oct '19 16/75 . . . Blogpost coming out soon 😉 . . . . . . . . #oph #lenscaptureofficial #moodygrams #indiapictures #india #indiagram #desi_diaries #indianphotographyclub #storiesofindia #incredible_india #travelgram #travelrealindia #photographers_of_india #discover_india__ #india_pixelz #india_everyday #indiainframe #4tographers_hub #teampixel #snapseedindia #pixelnofilter @madebygoogle @googlepixel @snapseed.in #anunaysood #itsnaksh @story.of.himalayas #storyofhimalayas
