Mobilegiri - Lady from hills, busy in usual morning things with her kids !!!

While travelling from Kullu Srahan to Shimla, this photographs was clicked from moving car. It's a click by HTC Desire HD and somehow it came out quite clear. Folks in the car were wondering, how she can do this to his kid :) ... Weather out there was chilling. Although she is wearing a half sweater, but temperature was below 10 degrees. This place was surrounded by snow capped hills and this kid is taking bath in open. Probably this is not a big deal for them, but this photograph still make me shiver in summers as well. See kid expressions and his hands.

Wondeful view of full-moon sitting on top of snow covered hills of Himalayas !!!

Himachal Pradesh being my native state, I have huge love for these hills and I love to be closer to these. Although my profession keeps me busy in big cities, but there is always an urge to go back to Himachal and do something on my homeland... Hope I would be able to take appropriate decision sometime soon !!! This Photographs was taken during my last year trip to Kullu Sarahan. It's a small village isolated from various main cities/towns of Himachal and a wonderful place to spend your vacations... Hope to visit it this year as well !!!

Palampur : One of my dream place to live !!!

Here is one of the photographs clicked just after getting out of Bus Stand at Palampur ! It's such a lovely town and believe me, it's not possible to explain the qualities of this town in words. One has to visit the place to feel the difference between this town and others in Hills and even if we compare it with modern facilities of big cities or Metros. Although it would be bad if we compare this beautiful town with big cities like Delhi ! To check more photographs of Palampur Click Here...

Full moon sitting on a snow covered hill of Himalayan Mountain Ranges in Himachal Pradesh, INDIA

TFirst of all, it's not full moon but looked like that only !!! It was early morning at Sarahan Village in Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh and moon was still very clear in the sky... We went for a morning walk towards the government and came back to our camp, but still the moon was clearly visible in the sky ! I though of capturing it in my Travelling Camera and incidently the moment I clicked the photographs, it looked like a sitting moon on top of a Hill capped with fresh snow !!!.

Beautiful Cricket Stadium surrounded by snow capped hills of Dhauladhar Mountain Ranges of Himalayas @ Dharmshala, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA

I am not a cricket fan but recently visited Dharmshala to cover final match of T20 Mahasangram organized by HPCA and Jaypee Cement was sponsor of this great event. This tournament made a world record and that was a big thing. But for me, Stadium in Dharmshala was more special. What a stadium is was ! Unimaginably beautiful and snow covered hills in it's surrounding make it far better !! Let me share that beauty of this place can be captured in a Photograph. One has to visit the place to really appreciate the beauty !!!

A wonderful view of Dhauladhar Mountain Ranges covered with snow

 Recently I visited a village called Pathiar which is very famous for high quality potatoes and many companies like Lays take most of the Potato crop from this region ! This village is exactly under Dhauladhar Mountain Ranges near Palampur. Apart from beauty, all the these mountains provide magical energy to Himalayan land to grow world's famous Kangra-Tea and Potatoes...

Wonderful views of Pir Panjal Himalyan mountain Range around Dalhousie in Himachal Pradesh

View of Peer Panjal Mountain Range from Dalhousie @ Himachal Pradesh, INDIA : Posted by VJ SHARMA at www.travellingcamera.com : Pir Panjal Range is a mountain range in the Middle Himalayas running from east south east to west north west across the states of Himachal Pradesh and Indian administered Kashmir in the Republic of India as well as Pakistan administered Kashmir... All these photographs have been clicked during one of m Dalhousie trip... Dalhousie Mall Road has amazing views to PIR PANJAL mountain range... Here are few photographs of PIR PANJAL which are clicked from Mall Road @ Dalhousie, Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA Dalhousie Mall road starts from Subhash chowk and this photograph has been clicked after few minutes of walk from Subhash Chowk.. towards main market of Dalhousie, also known as Gandhi Chowk...The eastern segment of the range forms the watershed that separates the Chenab (Chandrabhaga) river basin from the Beas and Ravi river basins...Zoomed view of PIR PANJAL from middle of the Mall Road @ Dalhousie, Chamba, Himachal Pradesh... I have used Nikon D90 with 18-200mm to click all these photograph.. and most of them are clicked in the evening....Rohtang La is a mountain pass on the eastern Pir Panjal range. It connects Manali in the Kullu Valley to Keylong in the Lahaul Valley. ..This is clicked from Gandhi Chowk and the green hill on the right is the one where Dalhousie Public School is situated... Its very popular boarding school in Himachal Pradesh...Haji Pir Pass is a mountain pass on the western Pir Panjal range between Poonch and Uri (India).Haji Pir Pass is an important outpost manned by the Pakistan Army. The pass witnessed Pakistani aggression during both the 1965 and 1971 wars. India captured this pass in the 1965 war due to lack of Pakistani strength in that area and was later returned to Pakistan during exchange of each others territories. During the 1971 war, Pakistan army repulsed to Indian attacks on the post. This pass today continues to be part of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir...Clouds moving up from PIR PANJAL mountains... and let me share that Dalhousie gets heavy rainfall in himachal pradesh ... snowfall also...Deo Tibba (6001 m) and Indrasan (6221 m) are two important peaks at the eastern end of the mountain range. They can be approached from both the Parbati-Beas Valley (Kulu District) and the Chandra (Upper Chenab) Valley (Lahaul and Spiti District) in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.The hill stations of Gulmarg in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir lies in this range.

Last year when I visited Dalhousie, I realized how different it is from other hill stations... It has marvelous views of snow caped hills on one side of the Mall Road in Dalhousie... and these views can't be compared with others ... Like I have seen  Dhauladhar from Palampur but it has view to few hills, but here in Dalhousie, its series of mountains... all covered with snow and have a unique shine during the evenings...

A View of Chenab River near Tandi @ Lahaul and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA

Travelling Camera on back journey from Famous Shiva Temple @ Trilokinath, Lahaul and Spiti, Himchal Pradesh...This blog PHOTO JOURNEY was started on first July of 2008 and very first post was about Lahaul and Spiti... Here I am going to share some of the photographs of back journey from Trilokinath which is in Lahul district of Himachal Pradesh...Photographs licked near Tandi Bridge... As you can see in above photographs.. Tandi-0 km :)Tandi is a place in Lahaul and Spiti District of Himachal Pradesh, where Chandra River and Bhaga river meets to make Chandrabhaga....The Chandrabhaga River is also known as Chenab which is formed by the confluence of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers at upper Himalyas. It flows through the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir into the plains of the Punjab, forming the boundary between the Rechna and Jech interfluves. It is joined by the Jhelum River at Trimmu and then by the Ravi River Ahmedpur Sial. It then merges with the Sutlej River near Uch Sharif, Pakistan to form the Panjnad or the 'Five Rivers', the fifth being the Beas River which joins the Satluj near Ferozepur, India. For more info CLICK HEREFrom this journey, I am not able to recall any moment when snow covered Himalyas were not visible from our car.. They were everywhere... I think Lahaul and Spiti district is amazing place to chill out.. but it has another side to it.. While we were at Trilokinath, we spent some time with Pandit ji there and we got to know that most the areas disconnects from rest of the world for 7 months in an year... Can you imagine yourself living in an area for 7 months without any access to vehicles n all... Its really tough but they have planned their life according to their local eco-system...While travelling in Lahaul and Spiti, we can see beautiful valleys along with snow capped hills of Himalyan Range... This region is rich in terms of Agriculture... I am not sure about the whole district but area between Manali and Keylong had lot many valleys with agricultural land...Towards north of the state is a snow capped Trans Himalayan district of Himachal Pradesh comprising of two major valleys Lahaul and Spiti. The district is lying on the Hindustan-Tibet border... It is a tribal district with unique Tibetan Buddhist culture...

Good Morning Clouds @ Shrikhand Mahadev, Kullu Himachal Pradesh

Good Morning Clouds @ Shrikhand Mahadev, Kullu Himachal Pradesh: Posted by VJ @ www.travellingcamera.com: During my 5 days of trekking to Shrikhand, Clouds around us played different games ... but we enjoyed most of them :)  Most of the times, morning starts with nice sunshine and most of the space is covered by clouds after 1 Hr ... visibility starts decreasing after 8 am.... After 12 noon, these clouds start playing hide and seek and show difference colors on mountains... I was able to capture some details in early morning because its more clear in morning as compared to other day times...It was a great experience to see fast moving clouds from one region of mountains to other... We also experienced views when it was raining on the other end which was approximately 300 meters away from dry area where we were just waiting it to stop :)  We were thinking that, its gonna rain on us in next few seconds... Weather on the way was very unpredictable.Clouds moving up from deep areas between these hills... This is very early morning shot and finally they assemble on the top and rain.. finally Sun comes to get your cloths dry... Clouds roaming around hill-tops during evening time... After 5 pm, density of these clouds decreases and most of the region around you isPartial lighting on hills due to clouds... visible to enjoy clear sunset...Clouds, Trek, Shimla, Shrikhand Mahadev, Clouds, Hill Stations, Hills, Snow Covered Hills,green, Sunrise, Sunset, rains,
