[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the view of the mountains to the north-east while walking to Sach Pass at 14000 ft. I took this picture during my recent trek in the Sach Pass region in district Chamba of Himachal Pradesh. Incidentally, this is my native place too. I was born and brought up here until I left it at age 16 in search of education and employment way back in 1962.

PLEASE ENJOY THE VIEW IN LARGE POSTING.

These mountains are called Lesser Himalayas. The Encyclopedia Britannica has the following information about them:

To the north of the Shiwaliks and separated from them by a fault zone, the Lesser Himalayas (also called the Lower or Middle Himalayas) rise to heights ranging from 11,900 to 15,100 feet (3,600 to 4,600 metres). Their ancient name is Himachal (Sanskrit: hima, “snow,” and acal, “mountain”). These mountains are composed of both ancient crystalline and geologically young rocks, sometimes in a reversed stratigraphic sequence because of thrust faulting. The Lesser Himalayas are traversed by numerous deep gorges formed by swift-flowing streams (some of them older than the mountains themselves), which are fed by glaciers and snowfields to the north.

Hello Ram,
Impressive Large View on these Lesser Himalayas. Taken from a very good POV in a marvelous composition. Gorgeous light and colours.

Bonsoir Ram,
C'est évidemment la version large qui restitue le mieux ce splendide paysage bien composé et dans lequel rien ne manque.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hi Ram,
You know, I will always focus on landscapes, so glad to find one on your first page. The view of this magnificent mountains is stunning. I am sure hiking near to them is even more impressive then seeing them on a photo. The exposure is well controlled with good detail in both highlights and shadows.
