Interesting pics… J&K is heaven for visitors… I like the backdrop of snowy mountains and sunshine lightening them look more beautiful.
Hi Mohan,
Welcome to our 10YI !
Yes, J&K is a very special place … it’s sad how things have changed out there since our visit. Hope it gets resolved soon.
Cheers!
Madhu
beautiful images!!!
Thanks a lot, Magic Eye.
It was a beautiful Gompa. Unfortunately it was closed when we got there. Hence we were unable to take a peek inside the Gompa.
