I had earlier followed your Malari-UntaDhura and VoF-GuptKhal treks similarly. You make it come alive for us landlubbers. <br /><br />Just one small nit-pick. The image http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cxEyo9L1_Bc/UGUqpeq7UaI/AAAAAAAAKdw/ixvUuZQu0nk/s320/DSC00496.jpg seems flipped right-to-left.

But lets not also forget that the only human inhabitation in the valley s by armed military men for last 50 years.<br /> <br />Leopards are definitely there but not sure about snow-leopard.<br /><br />As for the shooting in the cam carder I carry a jumbo battery from SOny which has a total recording time of about 400 minutes of footage, For a 3 week trek, 400 minutes of footage works out to be more than enough.<br /><br />Thanks for the interest query and compliments again.Him-Pathikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898524845912798206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294633494171765004.post-47368900174211920802013-10-28T22:11:13.267+05:302013-10-28T22:11:13.267+05:30I came here following your Saptarishi Kund trek in...I came here following your Saptarishi Kund trek in the Yamunotri region. Intrigued by this feature on the Nelang pass as this is one area that I am also interested in visiting in the search of a snow leopard. Your hard work in traversing this region and the detailed account have made me a fan. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for your future adventures! Thanks for documenting everything meticulously and sharing them in detail :)<br /><br />PS. How did you guys manage to shoot the video - did you use a solar charger for the batteries?

Winning in "High" performing Teams Organization : As you guide the team up the meandering and slippery terrains <br />2. Theory of Constraints : As you win not by just focusing on the target path and best trekker , but by positioning and adjusting the "rope " all along compassionately and mindfuly so that the weakest link gets equal share and feel of the victory mount <br />3. Power of Compelling vision : True metaphor provision of what a true Leaseship In"sight" can Inspire the progression from routine management and operations of the plain "valleys " to Leading the formidable climb of Leaderhip with the Vision of snowscapes ..<br />4. The Budha Leadership Circle completion : How you stimulate the journey from a Reciever ( at the base in the plains) to an Interrogator ( as he asks if the supplies can sustain the odds of the unknown!) to the Seeker ( as he finds the Guide in You who can Lead the path ) to a Preacher ( as he kisses the Summit and longs for passing the traits on to the Next )<br />5.

Over the days I searched the internet and google earth till today when I typed in the magic words " Blog on trek to Nelang Valley " and hey presto, your Snowscapes.com blog opened up revealing more than I had bargained for !! Hauntingly beautiful vistas with evocative words woven within like a rich tapestry that is the culmination of human quest as we strive to go beyond the mundane that is our daily life in the metro cities. Amazing also as I read on and could sense your caring for porters and team members alike ; such is the hallmark of a true expedition leader as like Anindya Mukherjee fo Kolkata who opened up the Zemu Gap route, you are an explorer ; hats off to your skills!!<br /> A group of American friends from Washington D.C. who wished to go to such beautiful places were regaled by my tales about such a place as I shared the pictures on Facebook weeks back. But now seeing how close it is to the border with China I can make out they will have to stick to simpler treks like Auden's col or Vasuki Tal. Your writings inspire me as I too have been penning on blogger.com about my past journeys all over India in my Fiat Palio 1.6 which has carried me over the mountains and cross county over the Indian sub-continent.

These lines touched me “हम तो चाहते हैं की आप जैसे लोग आयें। हमारे जवानों को भी पत्थर और भरल के अलावा कुछ और भी दिख जाया करेगा।" <br /><br />I totally agree with the points that you have mentioned in the end. The routes you choose for trekking or I would rather say 'exploring' inspires me for trekking even more frequently. Keep inspiring other trekkers. <br /><br />I dropped the idea for doing Kedar Tal solo trek because the route at Gila Pahar is washed away (as per a guide). I will probably do Ransi to Kedarnath Trek via Mandani Valley next month.visionarysandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702150134022065970noreply@blogger.com
