Tirthan Valley: Bahu, Jibhi, Banjar & Chehni Kothi

Bahu, Jibhi, Banjar and Chehni in Tirthan Valley, Himachal Pradesh, are some of the prettiest places we've visited. Though it was cloudy and drizzling intermittently for the better part of the day, the sun kept floating in and out of the clouds, which allowed me to capture some pictures with mood and drama in them. In the evening, by the time we reached Chehni, the sky was clear and the sun had begun its descent - casting a soft golden light on the scenes. As is always the case in the Himalayas, we met some wonderful, friendly locals who shared their stories and warmth with us. All the photographs in this gallery were captured on 16th April, 2018.
