By my own standards, I have been to quite many places in India. That obvious perk of
staying at the north of the country. (Of coursw, a long wish-list still awaits, but still.)
I have been to many a known, half-known
and almost unknown hill stations on the lap of the Himalayas, to which almost
nothing else can compete, me think! I have been to the forts, palaces and the
dunes of Rajasthan, and spent a New Year eve amongst the brightest star studded
night a midst infinite stretches of sand, camping fifty kilometers away from the
city of Jaisalmer, just to give you an idea. For the seas, the best till date
has been the blue waters of the Konkan coastline, bordered by white powder
sand, and we’d spent all morning chasing the gangs of seagulls. Somehow, I found that more endearing than the blue sea of Mauritius.
So you know, choosing one of all of them could really be a
challenge. But then, it didn't take me long to zero down on this one.
Kashmir – the paradise on earth!
Let's keep it simple. Let's just do a quick photo-trip here.
Dal Lake, before wake-up hours
And afar, the hills...
Our house-boat
And our li'l shepherd, at Pahalgam
Gondola, at Gulmarg
Horses, at Sonmarg
Obvious!

A lazy float on Dal Lake
Pahalgam - a li'l friend with his BFF
The shops of Srinagar - Icecream-wala
The shops of Srinagar - Photo Studio
Oh how I loved thee and never thought of cooking!
Erm...
Atop the hill, Sonmarg
And at the bottom of it...

A water stream, random, at Pahalgam...
Dal Lake, again...
Water - skiing. Simple, isn't it?
You know!
Dal Lake, yet again.

Sonmarg. And yes, I can ride two horses at once!
Ah the sunset!
I can, I can!
He can, too, it seems.
