Glimpses from Kuari Pass Trek, Uttranchal Himalayas
"Here's harmony!" said she; "here's repose! Here's what may leave all painting and all music behind, and what poetry only can attempt to describe! Here's what may tranqillise every care, and lift the heart to rapture! When I look out on such a night (scene)* as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world; and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene."
From Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, p:105

when clouds no more remain untouchable,and if dreams can be captured in a camera, this is a pic tht i would like to believe i captured in my dreams.

Wow. It looks out of heavon. I have never seen such a scene even in Yash Chopra's movies.
both pictures are beautiful. I esp. like the second with the mountains in the back ground.
What a pic , especially the first one. This is called heaven. :-)
Beautiful meadows. I wish to be there :)
There are multiple things I like about this post, Mridula. First the awesome views plus the fact that you quoted it with Jane Austen - my favorite author.

ahhh.....there's something to bring instant pause, peace of mind, takes you out of yourself. no wonder the ancients would retreat there to meditate. beautiful.
i think that it's also not jsut that they're mountains, but that they are snow capped particularly :-)
glad you like austen, great quote!

Hi Mridula,
Both the pics are just wonderful, but the first one is simply awesome.
I have visited your blogs for the first time, and so I think I'll just make a consolidated compliment on your pics. They are really amazing.

Shalini, thanks a lot for both your comments. And it is always good to 'meet' another travel bug :)
I just can't get enough of your mountain pictures. They're absolutely stunning.
Thanks Lily.
