Jayanta Ray, a resident of Sodepur, North 24 Parganas District, holidayed in north Sikkim and was bowled over by the peace he encountered in parts of this district. He saw a bit of snow too!

"We visited Katao and Zero in Lachung, North Sikkim district (now called Mangan). The place is tranquil with only a few travelers with >serene and amazing beauty.

"What really drew our attention was the combination of lovely green woods and snow-covered steep mountain peaks of the Great Himalayas, separating India from China."

Jayanta captured these pics on his mobile phone. "Hopefully, my pictures would get published to give people from different parts of India (a chance) to learn and understand the beauty of Nature there."

Thanks, Jayanta, your photographs are wonderful.

Puri, Odisha, was where Sri Kumar Malani came across oodles and oodles of quiet.

"The beach at Puri, which is away from the main city area, is remote, isolated, serene and safe. It's quiet, except for the sound of the gushing waves."

That's a really cute pic, Sri Kumar. Thank you.
