Quote:

photography of mountains & glaciers was an adventure as well as enjoyment at height above 13,500 feet. There was little suffocation also at this altitude perhaps because of low oxygen, the photos I took are very refreshing and the thrill was great. snow and snow everywhere on the top was mind blowing.

While going up to Rohtang we were trapped at Kokasar for about 7 hours along with many tourists. Thanks to Dhabas(small food stall) that provided food to all of us at very cheap rastes. I was impressed by their honesty as they did not try to exploit extra money from trapped people in the hours of big demand and short supply .
