Photo Corner: Nandi Parbat and Serlung Gompa

This is the spot where we got off to trek up the hill.

Kailash hiding behind a thick cloud cover

Nandi Parbat squatting in front of Kailash (a small portion seen on the left side)

That's me with Kailash still under a thick cloud cover.

We see both Kailash and Nandi Parbat here and the clouds have still not stirred. Nandi Parbat was about forty five minutes from where we stood and Kailash maybe an hour or two further.

Resting after a strenuous climb.













Another angle to the whole thing.













That's the Mumbai team with Autar and Neema our Sherpas.

See that!...Our jeeps are small specks (right central of the photograph) and we climbed all the way up.

One final look before we descended and the clouds were still there. :-(

A small consolation. Nandi Parbat was clearly visible.

Serlung gompa












Stupa outside the gompa.












Guru Rinpoche is worshipped here.












Another view of Guruji.

Lo and behold...clouds clearing up revealing a stately Kailash.

There it is.....with no clouds to hide its grandeur.














Descending down to our jeep park.
