the three musketeers again..in no particular order.



all stones are engraved withprayers...

prayer wheels..

tabo monastry. take the room on the first floor 201. lovely view from there

dont worry, my friend is straight. hez just showing the kids their photo on the digicam

unbelieveable mountains

laal pari on martian road

winding roads and bone numbing cold

the friendly camp.. must stay... dont even think abt the camps on the riverside..this one is the best and much cheaper.

our coffee table at the camp

mount kinner kailash thru the zoom lenz

view of the valley

three musketeers... of different sizes


at kinner kailaash dwaar... its the outlet of a dam tunnel
sarahan temple

tarantula webs

mountains of pebbles all around tabo

a temple courtyard between houses

green window
roaming around in the village

village nako
nako lake
the slush at maling pass... notice the Sumo stuck ahead of my laal pari. its a real steep climb and rocks keep falling from above. i got lucky .. went through with just a few pebbles making a few dents on the bonnet.problem is when a big rock comes down it carries ur car with it to the stream 1.5kms below. be careful there!
the most spiritual place
view seiving through
everything here looks so fresh
become a monk or nun at your own risk. U just might loose ur gender.
tabo
tabo..through one of the numerous caves in the mountains across.

dont even think of staying anywhere but at the monsatry at tabo. its beautiful.
me, on mars with a blue sky
maling pass.... u need to drive through falling rocks to cross....and the road is actually a slush

prayers...blowing in the wind.
cute kid!

one of the eeriest of towns..nako

one of the better roads on the way....

kinner camps...awesome place to stay
my laal pari (red fairy)

had way too much beer on the way..illegal to move on from here without releaving yourself. i did my part well as you can see.

fruit trees covered with nets..looks like the nest of a giant tarantula!

sarhan temple... a stone and wood temple in the midst of thick green mountains

Very nice, Abhinav. As if it needs saying, you've convinced me that I really MUST go to the Spiti Valley.

Not sure about that Malling Slide, though ...

You guys seemed to have enjoyed yourselves. The pictures are very good. I like the clarity of the air and the bright sunshine. Wish we had the same for so many parts of the world which are under clouds of gloom and doom. More power to the prayer wheels!!

Pax vobiscum

hey Abhinav, i must say a big thanks to you..im really looking forward to travelling to these areas this July and when you have so much of visual inputs to see before to actually reach the place..makes me want to go now..im sure you had a blast..
u did it via Shimla right?
and must say, you are good at photography, also that these places are so serene and beautiful and picturesque..that maybe an ammature like me could also do a good job with my camera..
