This one line of poetry from Robert Frost has been the source of inspiration for me so far. This certainly has made a difference to me in some or other way. I first came across this picture (obviously on Internet) and downloaded it the moment I saw it.
I also used the same picture in my first ever web page, which is mainly dedicated to my first trek to Indian Himalayas (Garhwal Himalayas to be precise). Below, I have uploaded few pictures I took while on the trail, close to 25 days of trekking. To summarize the my experience in one line, I would say,
"There are no options when you are in the wilderness!! You have to accept, what Mother Nature offers you. It is the biggest challenge I have ever faced in my life."
Almost after 6 years now, I am trying to create the same experience once again by uploading the information from my earlier web page to this blog. I sincerely hope you all will like it. For now I am just uploading the images and some information about them. I shall write more about my trek experiences as soon as I get some time to write it down from the deep memory.

The Tunnel of Light!!
This picture was shot in the sunset light. It was one of the rare site, where light is entering through a valley with a thick clouds on top of it. The picture was shot at ground level to capture the "tunnel" like effect.
The Burning Sky!!
This picture was shot again in Sunset light creating a burning sky effect. The edge of the mountain adds a special dimention to it.
This is also known as Silhouette form of photography.
The lady seen in the picture is from the village called "Ala" These are few photographs dedicated to the Life, culture and the tradition in the Mountain.
The life in the mountain is not easy. Seen in the picture a small girl with her Mother carrying the firewood on their back. The fact of their life is, a Big rocky trial in front of them!!
