A peaceful day in the mountains

A photograph from a long ago trip to Sarahan , a beautiful little town in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India.

Sarahan ,a very pretty little town some 170 kms from Shimla ,was once the capital of the Bushahr kingdom.Later the capital was shifted to Rampur.Sarahan (altitude around 10000 feet) is situated a little off the main Shimla-Kinnaur highway and is also known as the Gateway to Kinnaur.It is a very picturesque place surrounded by pretty little villages and apple orchards and commands magnificent views of the snow-capped Himalayas.The town contains some very beautiful specimens of hill architecture.

Although Sarahan is not as popular as regular tourist destinations like Shimla or Manali I personally feel it is one of the prettiest places in Himachal.
