Himalaya, the Abode of Snow

In Sanskrit, Himalaya means ' the abode of snow'. These rhododendrons shown above grow at a height of 11,000 feet. One can see glaciers as one walks along the path.
The snow was very wonderful for us from the tropics.

There were some wild flowers like these in the crevices of rocks.
It is soothing to remember the snow in the torrid heat of Mumbai!
