SWF: Mana Village

For a variety of skies around the world, do visit SkyWatchFriday.



Mana Village
Uttarakhand, India

I shot these pictures while on a short trek from Badrinath to the Himalayan Mana Village in August 2008. It is the last village at the Indo-Tibet border. Some places famous in Hindu mythology like Vyas Gufa, Ganesh Gufa, Bhimpul, Vasudhara Falls lie close to the Mana Village. In winter, the villagers move down to Joshimath or Chamoli when thick snow blankets the Mana Village.

  11. Celine,
    I apologize for my absence. Shame on me for not visiting. - Well, my dear, as I catch up... flipping through your posts I see beautiful places (as usual), your reflective and emotional poetry and also your humor. The marriage post and your New Year's resolutions (especially your office mate) had me smiling and giggling.
