Mt. Nanda Devi

The distinct twin peaks of India's second highest mountain and the 23rd highest in the world, viewed from great distance, over 100 Kms away in Sitla, near Mukteshwar. The summer haze meant that the peak was barely visible and hence the poor quality of this image. However, this is my first "proper" view of my most cherished mountain from side-on so I love this pic for that. The Goddess (Nanda Devi is a sacred peak in the Kumaon and Garhwal region in India) revealed herself to me, a very rare opportunity during the summer months!
