Touching the skies……!

July 27, 2011 by Delirium

It has been one bewildering week. Soaked in freshness, permeated in raw beauty, bathed in exuberance. Loved every minute and moment of it_ Like being transported to a surreal land and heaven of fantasies, dreams and fairies_ And it all felt so intoxicating and unreal; So out of this world!

Felt like reaching out to the skies and touching the naked face of vertical cliffs and majestic mountains. A cluster of glorious peaks encompassing the mere mortals, from one end to the other, making everything look so ordinary and microscopic in comparison with the grand scale of the surrounding universe.

More to follow. Until you begin to get a feeler and a vague idea what the experience must have been like!? And just wondering, if you can figure out and name the places, I have been most fortunate to set my foot on. Lets see!?

If a look at the photos stirs that awe within how it would have been like to be in the bosom and kiss the cheeks of those glorious mounts!

Is it Skardu and the surroundings?

  No. But you are close ;).
  
  Hint: I half told the name of the place in the write-up 🙂

WOW. I can’t think of another word. Still feeling lost in the majesty of the pictures you shared. I saw similar landscapes in Kalpa, but not so upclose and personal. This must’ve been something! Can’t wait to read & see more 🙂

Indeed @Aadill. The North (vertical) and most deadly face of the killer (naked ) mountain Nanga Parbat ( 8,126 m); 9th highest in the world and 2nd in Pakistan after K2.

A cluster of peaks constituting a semi circle along the face namely Buldar peak (5,602m), Rai kot peak (7,074m) , Chongra I & II, Silver Saddle, Ganalo peak (6,608m) and Juliper peaks ( 5,245m & 5,206m).

  Thanks. I have. But its not my ordinary photogrpahy but extra-ordinary aura of the heavens on earth that make them so sublime.
