What incredible views on the road from Joshimath to Badrinath! 
Picture
A lovely bridge over the Alaknanda! I just had to stop and soak in the view - and click a few snaps.
Picture
The helicopter ferry from Govindghat to Ghangria. Saves a couple of days of walking time - and sore legs! 
Picture
Seriously... what awesome views! 
Picture
Picture
My new friend George! He was on the tail-end of a fascinating 75 day solo bike tour around India!

Picture
The last village this side of the border - Mana!

Picture
Bhimpul -  where the mighty Bheema cast a giant rock to form a bridge over the Saraswati river. 
Picture
Saraswati river welcomed me with a cute little rainbow below the Bhimpul
Picture
Picture
The young and bubbly Alaknanda river
Picture
The amazingly scenic route to Vasudhara falls
Picture
Just to give a sense of scale - this is me sitting on that rock overlooking the river!
Picture
Why do people build cairns everywhere? So that we can come again? 
Picture
India's last shop...
Picture
George had read about this shopkeeper in a Malayali newspaper and so came looking for him out of curiosity! And to his joy, the shopkeeper had a copy of that newspaper. 
Picture
Vyas cave - where Sage Vyas is supposed to have dictated the Mahabharata to Ganesha

Picture
Me and my lovely bike at India's last village!
Picture
Badrinath temple was closed for siesta from 1 to 4! 
Picture
Picture
Badrinath temple - some people say that this was originally a Buddhist temple... and it does look a bit like that...
Picture
Jai Badri Vishal! 
Picture
We come back to Govindghat to catch the chopper - and I get a nasty shock! 
Picture
Waiting at the helipad! 
Picture
Ghangria is the base camp for Hemkunt pilgrimage and Valley of Flowers trek
Picture
Picture
Picture
Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me...
Picture
Binsar to Kausani
Valley of flowers
