Post Sunset hues from Trilokinath (Lahual and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA)

This is a three years old Photograph, which was clicked at Trilokinath Temple in Lahaul & Spiti. Most of the co-travellers can't forget this adventurous trip to Lahual & Spiti. It was the time, when we stuck at a place due to land-slide and our hotel was just 14 kilometers away, but had no option but to go back. After a day long journey from Chandigarh, we were about to reach Udaipur and stuck at a place near Trilokinath.

Finally we came back and stayed in an open ground outside Trilokinath Temple. We got some forest-wood to have bonfire and spent whole night in chilling ground surrounded by snow covered peaks.
