Hide n' seek in Bedni
The Chaukhamba and Neelkanth peeks appear only during early mornings for an hour or so. As the sun climbs up the sky, clouds come and shroud over these greater Himalyan ranges.

We took a break for 2 days at Bedni just to soak in the place and get our tent pitched and tested for the first time after we bought it.

Bedni Bugyal
Bugyals are high altitude alpine meadows. At 3660 mts Bedni is miles after miles of undulating meadows with the peaks of Trishul and Nanda Ghunti towering over in the horizon.

Jit Ray has been a member since 11 November 2007 and goes by intothinair.
Currently in mumbai.
I work as a creative director with a magazine publishing house in Mumbai, formerly Bombay. However, my home town is Calcutta, now rechristened as Kolkata.
I have a wandering heart and have realised that photography is one way by which I can earn my freedom from the big city life.
Hopefully one day with all your help, I can fulfill my dream of traveling the world and bringing back the innocence and magic that disappeared over the years of growing up.
