We walked over snow, crossed Solang stream and walked up the mountain on the other side.
We spotted sheep grazing and a few shepherds on mountain.
The mountain was covered in green grass interspersed with tall alpine trees.
As we walked further, we saw many flowers littering the landscape.
A little ahead was a small waterfall coming down from a rocky incline.
Walking further up and above the waterfall, we found many more colorful flowers spread on the ground.
The shepherds were already leaving when we reached near the place where they were. The last man left behind was dousing the fire they had made for preparing tea and was herding out the last remaining sheep.
The forest ahead was thick but few trees grew in places where the incline was steep, leaving green open spaces covered with grass and white flowers.

Thanks Purnima. Thanks backpakker.
These stunning pictures speak a thousand words.
Wow that place looks amazing! I always imagined India to be different. Guess that is the trouble with western sterotypes that pervade the market and do not show the variety of the landscapes and people that inhabit a country.
lovely photos….the greenery made my day
