Kedar Peak – केदार पर्वत

I took this photo while trekking up to Tungnath for the first time. The views all along that 3000 feet climb were so indescribable that they might have put the word "magnificent" to shame!! 🙂
मैंने यह फोटो तब लिया था जब तुन्गनाथ की चढ़ाई पहली बार करी थी। तीन हज़ार फीट की उस पूरी चढ़ाई के दौरान जो दृश्य देखे थे वे कदाचित्‌ "भव्य" शब्द की महिमा को भी कम कर देते!! 🙂

    wow you just made me nostalgic. It was the beauty of this place that forced me to go there again this time with Vinayak.

    The place is pure magic.

    धन्यवाद समीर जी, संजय भाई, श्री अंतर सोहिल।

    सत्य वचन प्रभु. आलौकिक दृश्य और शानदार तस्वीर

  9. prerna on 17th June 2009 at 1809 hours:  

    Divine, I would love to visit this place.

  10. amit on 17th June 2009 at 1842 hours:  

    धन्यवाद पंकज 🙂
     
    Prerna, do visit this place, you won’t be disappointed. :tup: Its a minimum 4 day thing from Delhi – which includes 1 day to drive there (approx. 500 km one way) & 1 day to drive back. Cars etc. go till Chopta only & from there its a 4km trek uphill in which you climb 3000 feet which takes about 3 hours if you are quite fit or you can do it at even more easy pace in 4-4.5 hours. 🙂 First time I did it in about 4.5 hours & second time it was done in about 3.5 hours. 🙂

  11. sakhi on 18th June 2009 at 0756 hours:  

    Ati uttam! 🙂

    आपकी खिची गयी तस्वीर बड़ी अच्छी लगी | इसे देख कर एक ही गाना याद आ रहा है |
    यह कौन चित्रकार है , यह कौन चित्रकार है |
    हरी भरी वसुंधरा पर नीला नीला यह गगन

    यह गाना मुकेश जी ने फिल्म “बूँद बने मोती” में गाया है |

  14. amit on 18th June 2009 at 1738 hours:  

    धन्यवाद सखी, मनीष जी। 🙂
     
    भरत, गाना वाकई आपको उत्तम याद आया है, बहुत सुन्दर हैं गाने के बोल और मुकेश जी ने बहुत बढ़िया गाया था। 🙂

    First time here. Glad to have bumped into your Photoblog… Loving every shot.
    You know I read ur comment on Reema’s Blog. You should open a writing blog too coz you have something to say. Could even be about your experience as a Lensman 🙂

  16. amit on 19th June 2009 at 0344 hours:  

    @SpontaneousMini
    Thanks for liking the blog & the photos. 🙂

    As for writing blog, well at the fear of sounding boastful, I’ve those too, over the years there’ve been many in different genres but one that’s been continuing for last 4 years is my hindi blog. This photo blog is the latest in line which I started only last year. You can check all my links here. 🙂

    एक ही शब्द में कहें तो “अद्‍भुद”

  18. Anu on 19th June 2009 at 1226 hours:  

    Straightway to Heaven..!! 🙂
    Reminds me so much of Manali (Rohtang Pass) .. 🙂

  19. amit on 19th June 2009 at 1456 hours:  

    धन्यवाद सागर जी। 🙂

    अमित भाई

    बहुत खूबसूरत फोटू। कहने वाला था कि शिव जी बिना वजह ही यहाँ नही रहते पर वह तो कैलाश पर्वत पर हैं। मेर मोनिटर पर फोटो में एक वर्टिकल लाइन नजर आ रही है, ये क्या है

  21. amit on 21st June 2009 at 1924 hours:  

    धन्यवाद पंकज भाई। हिमालय के मैंने किसी ऐसे पर्वत की फोटो नहीं देखी जिसमें वह मनमोहक न लगा हो, सदैव बर्फ़ से ढके ये पर्वत शीतलता ही बिखेरते प्रतीत होते हैं। 🙂

    वर्टिकल लाईन का पता नहीं, एक स्क्रीनशॉट ईमेल करो तो कदाचित्‌ कुछ बता सकूँ।

  22. Andy on 29th June 2009 at 1805 hours:  

    Wow! What a sight. The photo is great but I keep wanting to look around it as if I were there!

    Sounds like a hell of a climb, but I bet the views were more than worth it!

  23. amit on 29th June 2009 at 1824 hours:  

    Thanks Andy. We started from about 9000 feet high & then reached 12000 feet high in about 4 hours walking on a 4km long steep trail, yes it was hell of a climb but it was indeed more than worth it. The thing was that I felt tired while walking up but when I finally reached the top all fatigue just vaporised in thin air & I felt refreshed & fully active! High places like these indeed have magic which makes one feel refreshed even after a tiring climb up to the top! 🙂

  24. Andy on 29th June 2009 at 1837 hours:  

    That’s cool

    I was just trying to think and realised I’ve never climbed (or hiked) up a mountain to the summit. I’m shocked at myself! I’ll need to pencil that in and try out the magic for myself.

    Not sure about the mountains in Wales though, i think they are probably classed as hills in comparison to the Himalayas! 😀

  25. amit on 29th June 2009 at 1847 hours:  

    Ah, you should try & do it, atleast once. The higher & more difficult the mountain, the more intoxicating the magic is when you reach the top! (I think it kinda gives boost to the ego having conquered a mighty mountain, eh!). 😀

    I’ve been here at Tungnath twice & its one place where I can go again & again. Though one thing here that I’ve still not done is go upto the summit which is Chandrashila Peak, a further 1000 feet climb via a walk on about 800 meters long trail which is steeper than the initial 4km trail which ends at Tungnath temple. Both times rains in the early morning ruined my plans of going to the summit to watch sun rising from behind Nanda Devi Peak while the Trishul & Chaukhamba Peaks glow in its golden glow! Perhaps weather will be kind next time I go there! 🙂

    And I think I’ve read that there are some nice & high mountains in Wales & Scotland, give them a try. And maybe once you feel the magic then you would come out here to get the Himalayan magic! 😀

    You guys make me jealous. I let my youth slip by worrying about LIFE, Now I am too old to really live.

  27. akki on 14th July 2009 at 2003 hours:

  28. Ravi on 27th July 2009 at 1457 hours:  

    Chitra bahut hi khoobsoorat hai…

  29. amit on 28th July 2009 at 1417 hours:  

    रवि बाबू, फोटो की प्रशंसा के लिए आभार। 🙂

    अमित भाई,

    लेकिन ये फोटो तो मुझे दे दो… बहुत हे खूबसूरत है… मुझे बहुत पसंद है…

    प्लीज़ दे दो भाई… मैं कही भी उसे नही करूँगा… सिर्फ़ आपने डेस्कटॉप पे लगा लूँगा….

  33. Anurag Geete on 14th February 2010 at 1427 hours:
