Lahaul & Spiti
It was September. Alex Turner ‘s haunting falsetto “That the nights were mainly made for saying. Things that you can’t say tomorrow day” was playing in a loop. We were almost at the end of our journey, circling through the snaky desert landscape, heading towards our last pit stop in the unforgiving, sublime and majestic Lahaul-Spiti. Just hours away from Chandrataal, waiting to bask in its beauty, I had almost rolled up into a ball, when the rays of sun reflect off the ochre mountains, straight to my half-open eyes and hit the sleep-deprived hallucinating brain. And was I dreaming or hallucinating or did I just skipped space and time and landed on a different planet?
I don’t think I need words to express or explain what we all saw. This time I shall let the pictures speak.
I do love Arctic Monkeys, but on a planet like this, it has to be a Cathartic Pink Floyd Solo.
Is this place real?
Spiti took my breath away but this landscape was jaw-dropping

As promised, here again! I LOVED Spiti Valley – stayed for almost three weeks in the village of Rangrik – it was to shoot a documentary. Nostalgic!
Oh Wow, what kind of documentary?
Wow another Marvelous place… I can’t get words to comment here… I am a travel loving person and I am adding these places to my list and gonna travel soon…
Truly breathtaking captures.
Spiti is a dream. The landscape is just so untouched and breathtaking.
