The famed Rohtang Pass(ht-13050feet) formed a historically significant connect between kullu valley and the twin valleys of Lahoul and Spiti in the western Himalayas.This connect was significant as it was an important" link to the Silk Route".
Horse mounted traders from Punjab would ply their wares through this route
to reach Leh and beyond.The Indians would trade in precious stones for the Chinese Silk,Pashmina,horses,carpets, and also opium.
My forefathers from Hoshiarpur(Punjab) in the 1870s were amongst the early pioneers to trade on this route.
The ancient name of kullu is Kulanthapitha and literally translates into "the end of the habitable world.Been on this pass a number of times.And it certainly evokes this feeling of looking at the end of the habitable world.It also conjures up images of Central Asia.
Shown in the image is the western face of the mighty Rohtang Pass at last light.
On my way back to Manali from Losar, Kunzum pass had its first snow of the season. The pass remained closed for more than 4 hours. Vehicles piled up, and it was only with a lot of difficulty that the pass was opened.

It was a February day while we were visiting Gulaba ! The temperature was as always below average, with snow everywhere atmosphere ! The Rohtang Pass was about 20 KMs from here & due to exceptional snowfall last night the car roads remained closed after Gulaba ! But we started to walk uphill & climbed more or less 5-6 KMs to the deeper snow point ! This was one of the best image of sky touching snow covered mountains ever I witnessed till date.. :)

Sometimes you don't like a particular shot as soon as you shoot it. However after may be 6 months or so when you start going through your archives, you find something which you start liking and then you try to process it again.
One such shot which was clicked long back using a 5MP PnS when I had no idea about photography (not sure if I know anything right now as well). This was on my archives for a long time so thought about re-processing it. I hope that I did justice with it.
