Returning to Kumaon    India april 2014 - A

Heading for the Mountains after about one dark and strange month in Nepal

Steep hillsides, winding roads ... (18hrs in 3 buses)

Getting close to my preferd area, top secret embeding during spring time

Arrival - touch down - revival ! (another skymaster)

Local fishermen checking for catch

Roaming Kosi river for days, on top of magic location ...

Kresse plant specie, (similar kind in european spring streams, can be eaten there)

Special showing up dragonfly

Hunting cliffs of Crested Kingfisher and Kites patrolling

... old creatures (frogs) youngsters which get hunted by birds

While leaving magic location Dotted Owlett (ullu) was watching

Special washed cliffs

Looking back after hours of fascination and pleasure...

Beautiful river sections

One of my favorite places

Hidden tea terraces near hill stations

Extreme weather changes wthin hours and depending on altitude during april-may

Wild tobacco growing at sunny spots in Kosi valley

Looking upstream, inviting for a bath, horizon with Himalayan Pinetree (Pinus walachii)

After cold, windy n rainy days clearing again, best view, morning moods
