Gum karaya is exuded from Sterculia urens, a large bushy tree growing to about 30 ft (10 m) in height on the dry rocky hills and plateaus of central and northern India. Originally introduced as a substitute for gum tragacanth, many uses were found for it and its commercial quantities rapidly increased until its use became second only to that of gum arabic.

Jalori Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 10,800 ft (3.120m) above the sea level, situated in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh that links the inner and outer Seraj valley. The Jalori Mata Temple locate here is visited by thousands of devotees from the nearby villages. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Kali. The temple though small yet it is visited by every person who comes to the pass.
The Sarolsar Lake is located very close to the pass. The drive to reach the pass is unforgettable.
To make sure one gets his vehicle and self well-prepared before driving this road. At the top of the Jalori Pass there are restaurants available to take lunch, and the Mahakali temple known as Jalori Mata, visited by thousands of devotees from the nearby villages. Jalori Pass is the first Indian pass to open every year, and is driveable by all vehicles, but are advised to go down in first gear only, according to Indian signals. This pass remains closed in peak on winter only. So in months of December, January and February one need to check before using this road. Usually opens around second week of March every year and closes mid december, depending on the snow.
The road's winding design, providing stunning panoramic views, is very curvy and fun for a leisurely ride, so it pays to take it slow. From Ghayagi to Jalori Pass, the road is a mix of mud and pebbles restricting the speed of the vehicle to barely 20 kmph. After Shoja, the climb to Jalori Pass is steep and just about 3 kms before the pass, road conditions become bad, narrow and steep which makes it more difficult to climb even in first gear.
A traveller on this road must follow some rules: Extreme caution advised, drive in first gear only, steepest gradient, most dangerous curves along the road.

Monsoons,cloudscapes and the lush greens have always stirred up my innermost emotions.Theres always this urge to head up the mountains.This time with wifey and my elder son,I decided to book a room in a rest house at Kothi,Manali.(2007).The view from my room was splended and decided to freeze some moments.Heres sharing one of the best moments from that holiday trip.
Roses brush upon pestel of an afterglow, mixed unequally with frozen skies.
Thoughts culminate, in subtle verdure of these peaks, as if a star that flies past by.
Here, the gazer, almost a stranger, fills his heart, in a tremble of faith.
There the divine, a dulcet ravine, echoes his prayer in gladness.
Come whomsoever you are, it says, a gazer, a walker or just in madness, come to silence upon the peaks. Whose temples are lit in such, holy himalayesque retreats.
Here in silence upon peaks at Kulu Himalaya, overlooking the wild country of Great Himalayan National Park in Himachal Pradesh, India.

The Kullu valley near the Ladakh region in the Indian Himalayas.
Kullu district stretches from the village of Rampur in the south to the Rohtang Pass in the North.
The largest valley in the district is called the Kullu Valley, which is also known as the Valley of the Gods. There is also a town called Kullu which sits on the banks of the Beas River in the central part of the valley. Another important valley in the district is the Lug valley where the main forest contractors have been extracting timber from the forests for the last 150 years and continue to do so today. Farther north lies the town of Manali.
In the eastern part of the district, the village of Manikaran contains Sikh and Hindu temples and popular hot springs. The Hidimba Devi Temple is at Manali. There are also many Sikh villages located close to Manikaran. To the northeast of Kullu Valley, lies the famous, Malana Valley.
