The uplifting colours of mountain country make for picturesque postcards.
Srinagar |
- A man displays his wares on his shikara, as he makes his way under the bridge.
- The people of Srinagar and friendly and warm.
- A yellow-beaked duck wades lazily in the waters.
- Our boatman on the shikara. Shikara rides are popular pastimes with the tourists.
- Mountain peaks snuggle under a blanket of creamy clouds in Srinagar.
- A wooden bridge makes for a narrow crossing over the stream.
- The mountain-side is lush with the deep green of pine trees.

Ankle-deep puddles threw up a neat arc of spray as we drove through them.
