      Picnic at 10,500 feet above sea level : Sraayan – A photo essay

      inRana's Space
      0

      Above Breswana which itself is 7,500 feet above sea Level is the beautiful meadow called Sraayan. 

      In summers all the villagers send their flock up there to graze. They maintain mud huts there where the cattle and they live side by side.

      Riding to the top!
      almost there
      My hosts the Haji family who run Haji Public School also have one hut. It was decided we would go for an overnight stay. For the locals it’s an easy climb but for novices like me it’s tough so I go up on a horse along with Mr and Mrs Haji.

      My ride is ready and Im nervous
      The ride up
      Its a glorious day
      We have to go to the top of the hills visible here
      Thick foliage makes it a beautiful ride
      on the way is a scenic waterfall and we are almost there
      Giving the horses and ourselves a rest
      a sight for sore eyes
      With the Hajis
      Everyone rests
      Ready to move. we are now halfway there and its been an hour already
      Wild horses grazing
      Another break
      the purple flowered meadows
      The snowy peaks of the Zanskar range
      Ive reached !
      Hot tea and chapatis being cooked on wood fire
      the snowy peaks
      These are the huts where the animals & their caretakers stay. we also slept in it that night
      The animals come home at night
      Evening approached
      a magical evening
      The cows come home
      Magical time at dusk
      Bonfire time
      A bonfire is lit outside to provide warmth and fun.
      Our bed for the night inside the hut.
      I set an alarm to wale up for te sunrise
      the gradient is steep and my knees are wobbling, still much ground to cover
      a well earned rest! walking downhill is tough on the knees
      But for Lassa Master i would have fallen many a times on the trip downhill
      Lassa Masterji helps me downhill
