The Himalaya's.....the view from Gun Hill!






Well it is obvious that I am still around 9 days after I took this memorable walk…….and no….i am not writing this from my hospital bed……I made it to the top and back down…….without any serious issues….but I do have a confession to make……I was glad I had my camera with me…….it gave me an excuse to stop and rest when I needed too……but as a result, I have some fantastic photographs of the wildflowers that are growing on the side of this wonderful little hill…….leave a comment if you want to see some photographs……truly beautiful.
However……..nothing quite as beautiful as what was waiting for us at the top of the hill!
My first views of the peaks were impressive……at the pinnacle of Gun Hill, the views were mesmerizing…………the sun was a bit higher in the sky now……and it was perfectly reflecting on the face of the highest mountain peaks I have seen till date.
I am not sure of the names of the peaks that we could see from this vantage point……..I need some additional help from someone much more knowledgeable than me……I have attempted to research it, but I still do not have the answer.
I will stop writing and let the photographs speak from themselves……..but one thing is for sure……The Himalaya’s can certainly be seen from Mussoorie……..Wouldn’t you agree?
But please, don’t take my word for it…….experience it for yourself
Post Script:
I am not sure how long it took me to ascend the 400 meters in height from the level of The Mall……I failed to look at my watch……I truly wish it was a statistic I knew and could share with you.
I will be making the walk again…..in the near future I hope…….in the early morning moments just before dawn…….I will find a comfortable spot and watch the wonders unfold before me
