Another take from the trip to Musandam...



Stairway to somewhere...
by Soumyadip Mukherjee

Stair way to an island, during our cruise around Musandam...Geographically, the Musandam Peninsula juts into the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow entry into the Persian Gulf, from the Arabian Peninsula. The Musandam peninsula is an exclave of Oman, separated from the rest of the country by the United Arab Emirates. Its location gives Oman partial control, shared with Iran, of the strategic strait...

Indian Sadhus
by Soumyadip Mukherjee

The Sanskrit terms sādhu ("good man") and sādhvī ("good woman") refer to renouncers who have chosen to live a life apart from or on the edges of society in order to focus on their own spiritual practice. Here we find some sadhus gathered up waiting for the "BHOJ" organised by the kedarnath temple committee...

Walking with the clouds by Soumyadip Mukherjee
A local at Kedarnat, duty bound, walk through the gliding clouds( not fog, at 3581 m the clouds seem to be your neighbors)

Kedarnath by Soumyadip Mukherjee
The heart rendering scenic beauty one gets to see on a beautiful day , after travelling 14km approx to kedarnath...( dont think the people flying in by helicopters get the chance to stand for a while, be mesmerized)
