From my mobile

Last trek, I was sitting at Triund. Some people never learn. I had given up on the sunset and put off my SLR and was sipping a cup of tea with my back facing West. Then, I accidentally dropped my cell and picking it up, looked back. The sunset was gorgeous but it was about to end. I did not have enough time to rush to my SLR (which was more than 250 metres away), bring out the tripod, rush to the ridge where I would see it best. So, I decided to just rush and have a look. Then used the cell to capture the sunset. Its from a mobile plus I am a pathetic photographer. The sunset was still fantastic.

Finally!! at Muktinath

The last few days, as I trekked the Annapurna circuit in Nepal, sunsets in Kangra Valley took a backseat. I was desperate to see a sunset on the circuit. So much so, that one of the days, I actually walked out to the balcony of the lodge I was staying in and shouted "O Nepal, cant thee show me one good sunset?". Ok, I dint exactly do that but I almost wanted to. For all its beauty, the trek was in deep gorges, so the sun never exactly rose and set. As the Thorong La pass was crossed, we entered the wide Kali Gandaki valley. The sun set behind the Dhaulagiri range, leaving streaks of light in all directions.
