thanks Stan. this particular State in India, Uttarakhand, has some of the 'holiest' hindu piligrimage sites and routes but we see that our treks (our fourth one in the State so far) avoid these routes. the two routes we did this year are not traditional piligrimage routes though a religious festival is held once every 12 years by the local people in the first part of the route.
Chaukhamba is indeed impressive but it was pretty far away from the trail we had taken this year. but it shouldn't be too difficult to find a nice trail nearby. anything for a pdml gathering :) On Thu, 11 May 2017 15:20:15 -0400 Stanley Halpin <[email protected]> wrote: > Very nice indeed! > This my favorite > https://500px.com/photo/211012513/28-jpg-by-subash-jeyan?ctx_page=1&from=gallery&galleryPath=27168699&user_id=8427981 > a classic mountain scene. > > I appreciated the captions present on many of photos, did some search > on the mountains mentioned.
