Podcast: Stories of Journey Through Nature
Valley of Flowers
It is exactly 11 years since I trekked to the Valley of Flowers in August 2009… By August 2010, I had broken my hip bones and injured my left leg in a road accident, and any serious trekking has been ruled out ever since.
There are many times when I think regretfully, that I would have done more justice to the Himalayan wild flowers if I had the camera equipment, the experience and photography skill that I have today. When, in fact, I couldn’t have done any justice at all, if I had pushed the trip even by a year. I’m lucky to have seen the Valley of Flowers at all when I did.
When Shiv, from Journey Through Nature asked me if I’d like to share a travel story on his podcast, it gave me an opportunity to look back on, what I thought was going to be, a 30-minute episode filled with regrets. Instead, out poured a stream of vivid memories that surprised me with their freshness.
Here’s the story, a slice of a once-in-a-lifetime journey relived. Do join in:
