What is so different about Geographers?

Well, for one thing, we Geographers observe things differently.
Wherever we go, we put on our 'Geography ka Chashma'! 
This helps us observe things, places and settings that normal people don't! 
We are the happiest while we are travelling, as that is when we can observe everything peacefully and interpret it as per our knowledge! 

 So here I dedicate this Photoblog to all the Geographers who love travelling.
I would be posting photos from all my travels around the world. The photos would reveal secrets that non-geographers hardly ever observe.

 So keep coming back for my photo blogs and earn your own 'Geography ka Chashma'!:D

 Here's a sneak-peak at my photo-blog from one of my recent travels - 
Location: Van Vihar Park, Beas Riverside, Manali, Himachal Pradesh (India)

(Tree - roots hold soils tight. Notice, how the roots, in this case, are even holding the round boulders tightly in place. No wonder trees are so important to control soil erosion!)

The Story of Mcleodganj

Image
The first thing that you notice, or rather experience while going from Dharmashala to Mcleodganj is that it is a steep climb! So much so, that you might think that the engineer might be a kid who loves to slide down! So damn steep are the roads that you are afraid that the car will topple if not driven by an expert. It takes hardly 10-15 minutes to reach McLeodganj from Dharamshala. While Dharamshala is in a valley, Mcleodganj is on a mountain top, hence cooler.  Our hotel was located on a sharp turn, Mind you, most hotels in Mcleodganj are not as small as they look. What you see in the image is less than half of the hotel. These are actually the top 3 floors. There were four more floors in the valley below. The top floor is the restaurant. Parking space is limited, make sure you check in on time to get the best parking!                  Book a room close to the reception, for this is the view that you will get fr...

Manali Travelogue

From Chandigarh to Manali...from the foothills of the Himalayas to the Himachal range, observe the changes that take place in the topography around you. When in the Himalayas, travel as geographers do... The dry river bed of River Beas, downstream from the Himalayas. The water level has never been this low. Yet, this year, due to low rainfall, there is hardly any water in the middle course of the river. The silt deposited on the banks shows the actual size of the river when it gets flooded. Huge V-Shaped Valleys carved by River Beas in the valley course of the river. The water that you see, remains as a part of a reservoir. Middle - aged Deodar (Cedar) trees in the higher ranges of the mountains. These are the lungs of the mountains. The air, rivers, soil, animals, birds as well as humans depend on them for their livelihood. Tourism industry itself thrives due to the presence of these forests. The moment they disappear, that will be the doomsday.  Huge d...

National Highway 1

Jullay!       When in Ladakh, you'll realize one thing very quickly. Your journey is going to be as beautiful or sometimes even more beautiful than your destination. This is one such route. The Leh - Srinagar Highway or NH1. So picturesque is the road, that you will never realise that you have travelled about 217 km till Kargil!      We began our journey at around 8 a.m. Pretty early, considering it was just our second day in Leh. It is advisable that you rest for a minimum of 1-2 days in Leh to acclimatise yourself to the high altitude, cold weather and the less oxygen.  Leh is barren. Well, most of it anyways. In the recent years, a number of trees have been planted in the area to increase it's level of oxygen so that it can accommodate the increasing number of tourists. This is usually your first stop on the highway. The Gurdwara Sri Pathar Sahib. Managed by Army personals, this is a pleasant place to stop by. Do take blessing...
