Misty Pokhara airport
H M Ramachandra practices for his next film
The team with Mr. Pant - still at the Pokhara airport
Gorkha Air waits patiently
Finally we take off!
On the monumental 17 minute flight...
Looks a bit dodgy... feels a bit more dodgy!
We approach Jomsom
Lower...
Lower....
Closer...
Almost there...
Where's the airstrip?
THIS??!
It's kid stuff, really!
We meet a few other film people - The famous Om's Home!
Around Jomsom...
It's high desert
The wind howls through here...
So much wind that even the crops need walls....
Icicles anybody ?
The head that wears the crown!
And the hand that taketh it away!
Firewood collectors, on the way to Dhumba Lake
The little fellow is tossed by the wind!
He repositions his load, and...
tries pulling again...
There's no giving up...
till grandpa arrives...
But big brother jumps in!
Finally we reach the sacred Dhumba Lake
and start exploring the area...
Signs of winter coming in
High altitude tea stop
TV has reached where no man dared not too long ago!
HM Ramachandra and Sanjay pose, Saurav doesn't!
Main Street, Jomsom
He could wax eloquent about limelight!
On the way to Mukthinath, the next morning...
This IS the fast lane
The contrast couldn't be more stark
It's also a bike lane!
We soak in the stark beauty
And the views just keep getting better
and bigger..
We climb higher
We're not alone...
We must look curious
This one's got the blues
Our trusty Mitjyu Travels TATA 4x4
This one's for the album
She not only knits...
She also sells artifacts
The town of Ranipauwa, 12,000+ feet above MSL
The only thing these policemen need to catch are winks of sleep
The hot shower, we can all appreciate, but...
Saurav checks out a few inscriptions
Buddhist engravings
Exposed to the elements
Entrance to Mukthinath
Sanjay at the temple
The Theerthas that can wash away your sins
All his sins washed away, HM can afford a smile!
On the way to the Jwalamukhi Shrine
Here's why you shouldn't leave the tap running!
It takes a lot...
to get his attention!
But it takes only a camera to get her goat!
On the way back... the light has changed dramatically
A bit of a traffic jam
A part of the Jomsom Public School
Time to catch some sun!
Jomsom Ladies
And the gents
Mr. Carefree
As Dipesh's father explains....
the team soaks up all the expert location advice
