Just Returned from Garhwal: A Photo-Story of Deoria Tal to Chopta-Tungnath-Chandrasil

PKanti,

I was also wondering why you have blacked yourself out with photoshop. And why you have photographed the other tourists without disguising their identity in any way. Strange. I find it tasteless.

Guys, please have some light on me:

Is it possible to trek Sari/Deoria Tal-Tungnath-Ansuiya Devi-Mandal in May/June within 10 days?

Thanks for noticing.

I'm somehow professional in photography field and I'm concerned what I did. Whom I posted in pictures can be recognized clearly I have their consents.......think I didnt violet anything.


Thaks for the keen watching. keep it up

Hi Pkanti,
Your photographs are good.
We were there in 2009 May-June. We went to Kadar from Gourikund, stayed two nights. Next day visited Chorabari tal- it was completely empty with a huge ice heap at one side. The way was steep but very charming with Mandakini flowing by the side and two falls we passed. The high ice-capped mountains on the right side of the Tal was marvelous. On return journey we stayed at Ukimath opposite to Bharat Sevasram - the buffer day was calm and quiet- yes we enjoyed staying ukhimath.
Then went to DeoriaTal, but our timing was wrong, we missed the reflection, though the weather was clear and the lash green valley, the calm Tal, the deep green jungle behind it and the way, ups and downs - all were enjoyable. But Chandrashila was a place that enchanted us so much- I like to dream it even now. From Chopta, we started to Tunganath- Chandrashila very early morning amidst cool breeze, with frozen noses- the way was beautiful, the green valley with soft grass, the zigzag paved way with beautiful round turnings, were picturesque. Tunganath Temple- according to us, is the most beautiful- by it's grace and position, among those of Garowal temples (so far we have seen). From there we started for Chandrashila- the heavenly hilltop, with 360' view of Himalayas with it's gracious proud tops. The weather was clear, we had nice, unforgettable view, uncounted snaps and hearts full of contentment.
That night was a full moon- while camp firing at Chopta, we watched an unearthly rising of the gorgeous full moon from behind the Mountains - we felt blessed by Her appearance. It was among the few moments of life, which are unforgettable.
Then Badrinath- the colourful uncommon dwelling of Badrideb, lost it's grace within the clumsy, noisy crowded market place. The roaring Alokananda seems to revolt for it.
This pain lessened on our visit to Basudhara Fall, The broad stoned way with flowing alokananda all along by the side was awesome. The huge rocks here and there made the place more beautiful. The fall was visible from far away but the height and sound and the majestic fall with big pieces of ice - was unbelievable. Sometimes, by the blow of wind, it's water was flying few hundred meters away to make us wet. We shivered but waited to wet again.
The last tea-stall of India offered a warm welcome with roaring Saraswati on our return way.
