Mt. Brahmakamal

This photo was taken in Auli at about 10,500 ft. altitude. Hathi, Brahmakamal and Ghora Peaks separate the Auli ridge from the beautiful valley in which Badrinath is ensconced. These are 20,000 ft peaks and form a formidable barrier to the Valley of Flowers biodiversity region as well, just to the north. All these areas form the outer reaches of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary. The Inner Sanctuary, of course, is closed to any form of human intervention.
