Fantastic Scenery

You must go to Tso Pema to really appreciate it. Words will not do it, and neither will photos. You have to be there, looking down on the world, looking up at the massive slopes of the Himalayan mountains, to really appreciate it.

Nonetheless these are pretty photos…

Mist In Valley Over Rewalsar Mist rising in a valley over Rewalsar...
Rewalsar Road

Dharamsala
River On Way To Dharamsala We passed a river, driving to Dharamsala...

Terrance Farm Field Terrace farming. Each "field" is 5-10 feet across...
Terrace Wall ...they follow the curves of the slopes.

Farm
Farm This is a farm a few minutes' walk from the caves...very pretty.

Gully A gully running halfway down the mountain...I took most of these photos while walking down one day.
Hills It takes three hours to walk from the caves to town if you follow the main road...

On Top Of The World ....but the views are spectacular.
Mountain View If you think I've gone overboard with the photos, it's just because you haven't been there...

Tree Blossom ...it's too damn cold to be "heaven on earth",
Valley ...but it sure is pretty.

Terraces Ani Bumchun tells me it's even more beautiful in the rainy season...
Terraces ...wildflowers everywhere. Unfortunately, this is winter.

Rewalsar Himalayan Mountains Rewalsar/Tso Pema is in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains...
Road ...even the "short" Himalayas are big. They have more presence than anything I've seen in the U.S.

Town More photos from the road to Dharamsala...
