A peaceful evening.
Wheat fields in the shadow of the Dhauladhar peaks in Kangra valley in the state of Himachal Pradesh,India.
Kangra is my favourite place in Himachal.It is (thankfully) not as popular with tourists as Shimla and Kullu- Manali but I think in the springtime few places in India can rival its sublime beauty. With its picturesque villages with their houses of slate covered roofs, wheatfields of soothing green,orchards in blossom,gushing mountain streams and the glistening white peaks of the Dhauladhars as a stunning backdrop it is no less than a paradise on earth.
However, like many other tourist places in India, in Kangra also the march of "development" is taking a toll on its once pristine beauty. Widespread building activity, four lane highways,too many vehicles and disappearing greenery made me wonder how long before my "paradise" will be like any other crowded place in India.:-(
