This winter has been a great experience for me when it comes to travels. That I was missing my visit to himalayas this year, I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to visit the
Doon valley on the foothills of himalayas. And compared to the filthy ganga I witnessed during my trip to Varanasi, the same ganga that enters the Indo-Gangetic plains of North India for the first time at
Haridwar is fantastically beautiful and much cleaner for sure. I was also lucky enough to get some time to visit the amazing
Forest Research Institute (FRI) at Dehradun. It is one of the oldest institutions of its kind. Presenting here some of the panoramic shots from my short visit to these places.

Great Photographs.
It is wonderful to see Ganga Mata in her virgin beauty.
Maybe, we should prohibit people in Prayag and Kashi to call the river as mother until they clean up the filth.
For 3 years I've been visiting Dehradun and I didn't look closer to admire its beauty.
