Parvez sent us this picture of his son trying to make friends with the ‘locals’ in Cherrapunji in Meghalaya.

Here’s a photograph of the iconic NohkalikaiFalls taken by Parvez on his visit to Cherrapunji on August 14, 2013.

Writes Parvez, “When I reached, the entire area was covered in mist as it was the peak of monsoon and I could only hear the deep rumble of the waterfall. And jus like that the clouds cleared for a brief moment through the steaks of sunlight I saw the most breathtaking waterfall I have ever seen in my life.”

Niranjan Vaidya shares this snap of the Hampta Pass (4268 meters) in Manali region of Himachal Pradesh. “This was the traditional route to pass from Kullu Valley to Spiti before Rohtang pass was made motorable.

The trek is amazing in July as it takes one through beds of flowers, alpines and glaciers along a tributary of Beas, crosses to Spiti offering magnificent views of the Deo Tibba and Indrasan peaks,“ says Niranjan.

The wandering clouds use Hampa Pass is an escape route when they cannot get past the mighty Pir Panjal to reach Spiti, " writes Niranjan.

Here’s another picture from Niranjan: The campsite Sihia Ghori (literally meaning very cold place) 500 metres below Hampta.
