Find the Road challange... Kalpa..continued

Find the Road ... ???   Kalpa, Himachal

5-6 kilometers ahead from Kalpa, is the village Roghi. Can u find the road in the picture above ? find few white spots making a line .

See the white Spec on the mountain?

The might & the height of the mountain can be estimated from the size o a car coming behind us on the road. Can't find it... see the white spec at the end of a line in the upper right corner. The line is the road & the white spec is the car.... just imagine & keep wondering !!!

The Hindustan Tibet Road

National Highway No. 22, also known as the Hindustan Tibet Road, is undoubtedly one of the most difficult and toughest roads in this world. After Rampur, the road turns very rough & very tough. Below are some of the pics showing the beauty & the toughness of the road.

The Kinner Kailash Peak -Abode of Lord Shiva

During our journey, many local people told us that only lucky people can have the glimpse of The Kinner Kailash Peak. Assumed to be one of the abodes of Lord Shiva, this peak is almost always hidden in clouds. Once we settled down in the Hotel at Kalpa, We had to target our cameras towards the Kinner Kailash Mountains for almost an hour & took almost 50 shots (that takes into account my amateur skills & my amateur camera)...  before we could capture these pictures, where the Shivalinga atop the mountain became clearly visible to us.
As the folklore goes, we definitely felt blessed & the lucky ones to get these pictures. So, will be all devotees of Hinduism if they happen to see these pictures. May Lord Shiva bless us all.
