I went to Kathogodam last Sunday to receive my Relatives coming from Mumbai, Captured few Images of Nature.

This is when we are heading towards Almora, which is more than 180 kilometers away from where I stay.

 

Standing Tall, the Beautiful trees of Deodar. Which just makes the roads look awesome.

This is the view from our Guest House’s Window, where We ( Me and Dad) Stayed.

And the is the Interiors of the Guest  House.

The Weather at my place was Nice, but we are 300 kilometers away from out home, and it was Hot in Kathogadam, We had to use Air-Con throughout the time we were there.

Jungle on Fire!

Take a look at this Photo,Seems like, its a cloudy day.

But not, Its all smoke.

Yes, I am actually 50 kms Away from the fire caught in Jungle.

Almost a Week ago.

Its very dark here, I cant imagine what’s happening there.

I took this Picture from my Home. Its was around 2 Pm, when I clicked this photo.

The Fire in Jungle is not accidently, its the people who do this.

There are many reasons for this, some mythological and commercial

Mythological is that they feel, by doing this, they are making clouds which will result in the rainfall, which is going to be beneficial for their crops.

The Other thing is, they get wood for their household,

This is a very common practice in Uttrakhand. But this seems to be the biggest, as the smoke is increasing and I  can feel the suffocation now.

Dharchulla, Uttrakhand, Place where I live

Well, Dharchulla, is in Dist Pithoragarh, in Uttrakhand state of India. This is not my native place, but my father is Posted here, in NHPC,

10 years ago we were in Chamba District, in Himachal Pradesh, 5 years ago we were in Kishtwar, in Dist Doda, which is in J&K.

and Currently here, in Dharchulla.

Its a place new Nepal Border ( I even go for a walk in Nepal, every evening)

The River is Called Kaali Nadi ( Black River) which is counted as a border between India and Nepal. I took this Picture from India.

So the other Mountain is in Nepal.

Even the Roads are very dangerous, very small, steep and narrow. If any vehicle from the opposite side crosses, the other vehicle stops to let it go.

and believe me, you need to follow all the traffic rules, and if you wont, you’ll risk you life.

Here is a view of my Colony, where I live, Looks so beautiful, clean and peaceful.

This Colony has been build on a Dormant Volcano. Which is believe to be quite from  200 years.
