The Magnificent Himalayas.
One of our favourite places near Shimla was Hatu Peak near the picturesque little town of Narkanda some 70 kms north of Shimla.Hatu peak is at an elevation of over 11000 feet above sea level.The mountainsides are covered with thick forests of fir and spruce with a smattering of maple,aspen and cedar.In summertime lovely wild flowers also make their appearance.The peak which has a temple dedicated to Hatu Mata commands magnificent views of the distant snow-covered peaks.
Unfortunately I did not possess my wide angle lens when I took this shot and as the sun was very strong my photos did not turn out too well.Therefore I admit to having played around a bit with this one.However I hope this shot gives an idea of the spectacular location of Hatu peak and the breathtaking views from there.Once in about 3-4 months we would go to this place and I can never forget the feeling of exhilaration when we reached this spot.:-)
