Best Treks for photography in Uttrakhand | Keep Your Cameras

Your Cameras are now clicking pictures at the weddings of relatives, of limited vegetation in the cities, and the crowded repeated tourist spots of your city or town. It’s time to let them click pictures for what they really are meant. Let them capture the moments of a waterfall flowing from deep inside the mountains and splashing on big curvy stones, of mountains that have been posing with the most majestic way, of the meadows who are carrying so much beauty in them to let the world appreciate it, and of the flowers that are putting their best combination of colors to impress the cameramen. So, do not keep your cameras and your skills to wait and anymore and explore them in the most serene and amazing treks of Uttarakhand:

 

1.     The Valley of Flowers: The ‘Naam hi kaafi hai‘ dialogue is probably written keeping this place in mind. A valley that is surrounded by one of the most beautiful and decorative mountains is not everything that the place has to offer you. That very valley is carpeted with 600 different kinds of flowers, some of them very rare, some seasonal, some unusual, some you never heard of, some favorites, but each one of them utterly beautiful and surreal. Your camera skills should be ready to flaunt here. Like a crown of the place, it resides in the Chamoli district of the state. A UNESCO World Heritage site and a national park, the place does not only please the viewers but also brings pride to the State. Do make sure to pay a visit to this place for the sake of your camera and soul.

At a startling height of 4650 mts, imagine the sights of the surrounding that one will get to see.
