    Lovely, lovely green. I am amazed to find temples in remote and far away hilly terrains where accessibility is hard.You made a great choice to visit Amarnath Sridharan.I am not ready for such a hard trip.

    Great rocky pics and the greens are alluring too...
    The temple looks neatly tucked away and is quite interesting!
    Have a wonderful day:)

    The green fields are soothing to the eyes despite my cataract. The videos were great. In India caves are abodes of our Gods.

    Not really Indrani, I was told not to use the Camera after a couple of shots after which I stopped..! I guess, I was lucky with a couple of these pictures.
