My beautiful Himachal

Northern India is at the moment reeling under unprecedented heavy rain and floods.The worst affected state is Himachal Pradesh where many lives have been lost and property worth crores of rupees has been washed away.I have spoken to my friends there and thankfully their families are safe.

The results of mindless development ,unplanned construction activity and blatant neglect of the warning signs of nature is now visible to us.Sadly in my country I don't think it will make any difference in the future.We will blindly go on just as we have been till now regardless of consequences.

This is a photo of Sangla valley , a remote and beautiful valley in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh,India. The average altitude of this valley is around 10000 feet.The River Baspa flows through this valley famous for its mesmerising beauty,its picturesque villages,its forests of deodar and birch and its apple orchards.
