On the road back toward the Aglar River from Tingling Pass. This was shot for dramatic effect. Most of the road was MUCH better than this!

Looking down the Aglar River Valley toward Thaytur. ‘Tingling Point’ is situated in a pass on the Nag Tibba ridge. Descending the other side takes you to the Ganges, not too far downstream from Uttarkashi.

Moving furniture is a tough job in the mountains, but someone has to do it!

Deosari Forest Rest House, or “dak bungalow” – very much as it was when built, almost certainly by the British before independence.

Neither Paul nor Will remembers this eucalyptus tree at Deosari, but it probably wasn’t very big 50 years ago, if it was there at all!

Much has changed in the Garhwal over the past 50 years, but this will ever be a place of indescribable beauty!
