Road to Manasarovar

Himalayan Spring

 Photographic odyssey by Neeraj Vegad photographer based in Jabalpur. His work here reflects his thoughts and deep understanding of the amazing topography of the Himalayas in India. Through his work and brief account, we travel to the wide expanse of the mountain ranges at Mount Kailash and Manasarovar Lake.     

The roads were excellent throughout the journey the author remarks and the drive was enjoyable.
