Oasis of peace.....

Took a short break from the blogging world and the scorching heat of Delhi . It has been a decade since i last climbed mountains. It was  a seven hours long drive to touch the lower Himalayas. I was mesmerised by the sights of gnarled tree trunks and mysterious green silence that stretched into the distance.


Slopes clad with mighty oak trees... sunlight gently filtering through the trees.......feasted my eyes on sea of green dotted with white flowers growing wild .....grey mountains with a splash of pink to add that lovely color .....butterflies dancing around ...... .I inched my way forward ....the forest was alive with chirping of birds , tick ticking of insects and the gurgling sound of the stream.







 The next  four days we spend in a quaint retreat in pangot.......dotted with small cottages and with wild rose creepers on walls and gates.







The dining hall..!


 After my meals I would sit here the whole afternoon watching the birds by the water having a great time...



Pangot a small village......









Loved the contrast of colors ....blue and orange.

 The stream and ME...


White ribboned stream cutting through the rocks.....




Sunlight gently filtering ....


Shadows..


Pangot  ...peaceful place away from the humdrum of the city.Next time, I promise, myself, I am not going to stay away this long.......
