On our way back from Valley of Flowers we stayed for a day in Ananda in the Himalayas. There is a small Shakti temple close to the resort which has some fabulous views of the mountains. On a clear day, one can see the peaks of Nilkanth and Trishul from here. Unfortunately it was cloudy and we could see a glimpse of the snow capped mountains through Binoculars.


Nevertheless, the view from the peak of surrounding valley was beautiful  The low hanging clouds, winding hill roads and the greenery all around made this a lovely picture.
