Garhwal, Uttarakhand
India
July-Aug 2008
While returning from a trek that I had started before dawn to the Indo-Tibet border village of Mana Village, I suddenly had the pleasure to view this fabulous sight of the 'Garhwal Queen' peeping out. Garhwal Queen is an appropriate sobriquet for the captivating beauty of Mt. Neelkanth.
The towering Mt. Neelkanth forms the backdrop of the pilgrimage town of Badrinath in the Himalayas. This pyramidal shaped snowy peak at a height of 6,597 metres (21,643 feet) above sea level borders the Nar-Narayan mountain ranges of Badrinath.
Later that morning as I walked around Badrinath I continued to look up at the fascinating sight till the time I sat down for breakfast in a modest restaurant in Badrinath. Every minute the scene kept changing as the clouds and mist played around the beautiful peak.

How utterly beautiful your pictures are, and how amazing that you found my site and took the time to write a comment. Thank you so much. One of the countries I have never visited, and I am poorer for that.
This doesn't always happen from a photo, but I could actually feel the incredible elevation! Amazing photos and trip details. I especially liked your paradox poem...nicely done.
Take good care!
