Do not know the name of this reptile but tried to capture the texture, not a chameleon for sure
Spent some time at Jalori Pass, Kullu while waiting for a friend to return from Serlosar Lake, had noodles and tea from his small restaurant. Finally, before saying goodbye to him, requested if I can take his picture, he happily agreed and poses decently in front of his restaurant, humbled.

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.

Solang Nala (Valley) drives its name from combination of words Solang (Nearby village) and Nullah (water stream). It is a side valley at the top of the Kullu Valley in Himachal Pradesh, India 14 km northwest of the resort town Manali on the way to Rohtang Pass, and is known for its summer and winter sport conditions. The sports most commonly offered are parachuting, paragliding, skating and zorbing.
Giant slopes of lawn comprise Solang Valley and provide its reputation as a popular ski resort. A few ski agencies offering courses and equipment reside here and operate only during winters.
Snow melts during the summer months starting May and skiing is then replaced by zorbing (a giant ball with room for 2 people which is rolled down a 200 metre hill), paragliding, parachuting and horse riding. A ropeway was recently opened. Going to the summit can be possible by ATVs, Ropeway or Climbing (Trekking).

Naggar
High on the east side of the Kullu Valley, sleepy Naggar was once capital of the Kullu kingdom in 1460 and is perhaps the most charming village in the valley today. Russian painter and explorer Nicholas Roerich (Nikolai Rerikh) liked it so much he settled here in the early 20th century. It's an easy day trip from Manali. It is 26 km from Kulu (main town) and 22 km from Manali. For interesting sights and some good guesthouses and restaurants, it's a fine place for a few days' relaxing stay.
Tripura Sundari temple is a pagoda shaped wooden temple is situated in the upper part of the village. This is also a rare examples of architecture.
Temples in Naggar Village :
Tourists can make a visit to the beautiful Gauri Shankar mandir. The temple was built in the 11th and 12th century and according to the historical evidences it is the last great monuments of the Gurjara – Pratihara traditions. Apart from the Gauri Shankar mandir there are other famous temples in the area namely Vishnu, Chatar Bhuj temple, Tripura Sundri Devi, Tripura Sundari and Lord Krishna. Rich in wood and stone carvings these temples are constructed in the Shikhara and Pagoda style.

Entrevista:
Periodista / Reportero:
¿Espero que también sepas ya de qué está hecho el chocolate?
Yo: Sí, el chocolate debería estar de cacao.
Periodista / Reportero:
¿Y de qué está hecha esa pieza de ahí?
Yo: Madera. Plástico moldeable (poliestireno). Plexiglás. Plástico duro. Papel "especial". Elementos de unión. Color acrílico. Y aproximadamente un 1% de auténtico chocolate fino.
Periodista / Reportero:
Ya que esto no es nada higiénico:
¿Se usó al menos verdadero chocolate ecuatoriano para esto?
Yo: No tengo ni idea. ¿Alguna otra pregunta?
Periodista / Reportero:
Prefiero no.
Yo: Qué agradable sorpresa. Ciertamente guro que es lo mejor. 😌

Befragungen:
Publizist/Pressevertreter:
Hoffentlich wissen Sie auch wenigstens schon aus was Schokolade tatsächlich besteht?
Ich:
Ja, Schokolade sollte schon aus Kakao bestehen.
Publizist/Pressevertreter:
Und aus was besteht das da?
Ich:
Holz. Formbarer Kunststoff (Styropor). Plexiglas. Hartplastik. "Besonderes" Papier. Verbindungselemente. Acryl-Farbe. Und etwa 1 Prozent echte Edel-Schokolade.
Publizist/Pressevertreter:
Da dies ja überhaupt nicht hygienisch ist:
Wurde dafür zumindest auch echte ecuadorianische Schokolade verwendet?
Ich:
ˉ\_(ツ)_/̄ˉ . Sonst noch fragen?
Publizist/Pressevertreter:
Nein.
Ich:
Welch freundliche Überraschung. Bestimmt ist das auch besser so. 😅

All along the river Satluj: this picture is taken at Banot, Kotgarh- the beautiful serene valley od Shimla and Kullu district in Himachal Pradesh, India. In the middle river Satluj is separating the border and dividing both the valleys. I named the picture 'Bhor' as it was shot early morning which is called 'Bhor' in Sanatana.
