Himalayan Adventure - VI

Early next morning, we woke up to a clear day, and caught beautiful views of the snow covered peaks.

(It was impossible to get a complete front view)

Amazing shots.. Kedarnath is considered to be one of the holly temples and You have done the punnya by visiting it :-). I have to be there. Excellent work Sigma.

@Pijush: As our taxi driver put it - aap log aaye nahin, aapko to bhagwan ne bulaya hai :-)
It is indeed a place worth visiting, even if it is not for religious sentiments, but for watching the natural beauty.

Great pictures Sigma; would definitely love to be in such an adventure.
Thank you so much for the several comments on my blogs; left answers there!
Was a bit absent lately because was abroad on a professional trip last week. One day I’ll probably show some pictures from a somehow unusual destination...
Trying to recover some time, I’m still posting on Germany (Koblenz, December 2005) on Blogtrotter.
Have a great week!
