Trekking to an altitude of 15730 feet, with a group, at 49 I was the oldest. The mighty Himalayas is so beautiful that changes its hue with changing altitude. Roopkund in May is a frozen lake, a crater surrounded by mountains. This in September is in water form loaded with about 600 skeletons. The mystery is now solved (see google search). The picture below shows two ice peaks, left one is Mata Nandadevi and right one is still untrekkable Trishul.

At the height of 13-14000 feet on the meadows with the grass flower. 

 Mythology meets reality in this route will be
blogged later. On the right are my two friends Dr Santosh Dora a cardiologist working at Asian hearts Mumbai and Dr Rohit Nayak an eminent Neurosurgeon in Hyderabad. Below is a click at the camp site at Bhagwabasa on total ice. Here they are collecting ice to melt to use as water. Tents are also visible.The yellow one was our tent.

 On right my two friends are in my tent. Below is natural grass flowers.

 Right side is the roof of the tent from inside. Below is Mr Birendra with his pet Kallu at the meadows of Allibugyal, His ancestors Lathudebata guided Nandadevi towards her abode in the peak of Nandadevi. The visible portion is called Nandagunthi/ or Nandagundi meaning the Pallu (veil) of Mataji. See the yellow grass flowers.

 Bellow is my trekking stick on my shadow. This is just a preliminary statement, detail will be blogged later.
Overwhelmed to feel my smallness inside the Great Himalayas and its still greater philosophy. A beautiful chance to burn one`s ego where a common man like Birenderji or Dhansingh is to be obeyed as they give lifesaving disciplinary support. Thanks to Indiahikes Mr Sidharth the 6 feet 4 inches tall expert trek leader with a huge understanding personality. Thanks to all the support staff and technical experts. Our group was a nice one with 23 members from north, south, east and west, all helped each other and hopefully I did not hurt anyone.
A life time experience and beautiful way to have a get together with old friends after 23 years.
Extremely thankful to parents, wife, children, and the extended family who remained in stressful situation for several days with the backdrop of the serial tragedies in Nepal.
