On top of the world
While looking through my old photos I came across this one.I had taken this on the way to Chamba valley in the state of Himachal Pradesh ,India in April 2014.We must have been at an altitude of over 8000 feet when I took this shot.I think today I would have done a better job with my camera but I thought this shot has captured the grandeur of the landscape quite well.I am also sure my friends will understand why I love and miss Himachal so much.:-)
There are two routes to reach the picturesque Chamba valley.One is via the British era hillstation of Dalhousie and this road (which we took) was an alternative one through a mountain pass called Jyot pass.At the time I was working for the Department of Telecom and as I was going to Chamba on work I was travelling in my official vehicle.The driver, a local gentleman named Balveer, was one of the most incredible drivers I have ever seen.In my 3 years working in Himachal I have travelled the most scary (albeit spectacular) roads with him and he seemed to have no nerves at all.This route was also very breathtaking but I had to hold my breath in fear several times during the journey.:-)
