Dhuddu nacheya Jatta o Khilarri: A beautiful folk song imagining Bholey Shankar in the state of total trance.
Could I ask for a better title?
This year I took two journeys into the very remote corners of Himachal Pradesh. One to Bharmour (A picturesque locale in the remore interiors of Chamba district), almost bordering Pakistan and other one was to Shrikhand Mahadev located in an even more arduous and unreachable interiors of Kullu district. Of course neither of the two journeys could have been possible without the help of my dad, who is very well versed with the treks of Himachal and also happens to be a keen trekker himself.

This man made the trip every bit worth it. A 70 something guy making us look like a rucksack full of potatoes when it came to hard-core trekking.
A beautiful little temple on our way!
Not just yum, these berries that grow in the wild, are believed to cure a lot of diseases.
Shumko, the lady who served us tea, oh so lovingly!
Bholey Shankar comes with a snake. He had just had a sumptuous meal by the way. That's why bulging in the middle.
The village we stayed at the night before!
My desi chums!
An Irish fellow traveler smoking pot (Confession: He didn't know that I was clicking his picture.)
Lazy Bastard!
That's right, you can fly in too!
See I wasn't kidding about the trek
