Hi Mr. Negi,

Congrats. for your tour. Saw your blog, nice pictures. What is the name of the peak of first image??

arunnegi · Apr 21st, 2008, 12:03

Hi supratim,

i'm not sure about the name. Its part of the kinner kailash ranges thats visible from recong peo in kinnaur. Its different from the kailash in tibet.

Other known peaks of kinnaur that are close by are
jorkanden,sesar rang, phwarang.

the kinner kailash parikrama is a pilgrimage trek that circumambulates around these ranges only. Starting from Thungi and ending at chitkul

Arun, thanks for bringing back great memories!
The peak of first image is called "Raldang" and its part of the Kinner Kailash range... See also my "mystical view"

Arun, thank you for sharing those wonderful pics. Now suddenly there's something pulling me stronger back to these Mountains!

Radjesh · Apr 21st, 2008, 18:40

Wonderful pics Arun, the mountains really seem to beckon... and its very hard to resist

arunnegi · Apr 22nd, 2008, 06:46

@andreas thanks for the updates. i have heard the name of raldang but wasnt aware it was the same one. Must say it indeed looks mystical .

been thinking a lot

Great pics Arun !!

Good to look at Kinnaur thru your lens.

Some of your treatment has rendered a few pics quite classical. Some of them appear as if they were shot in the "good old days"

Keep it up !!!

Incidentally, I am also writing about my journeys in Spiti/Kinnaur on my travel blog. I traveled in reverse direction last summer.
