Saur Cottages
Photographs taken March 30 & 31, 2013 (Please click on individual thumbnails for larger images)
SAUR COTTAGES:
About a fortnight back, I spent a week in Himalayas. My trip was coordinated by ‘Nature Connect’ (Facebook). Among the lot of activities, including adventure sports like white water rafting etc, which are possible while vacationing in Himalayas, one which really appealed to me was the opportunity for photography. It’s a beautiful place and no matter which direction you look at, you’ll find a beautiful frame waiting for you.
One such picturesque place is ‘Saur Cottages’ (Facebook). It’s nestled amid the green Himalayan valleys and has all the modern facilities. If anyone wants a vacation away from the daily hustle-bustle of life, this place is recommended. This place has abundant flora and fauna and therefore presents an ample opportunity for photography. However in this post I shall concentrate only on cottages itself. The flora and fauna will have to wait for another post 🙂

Feedback is always appreciated.
Very interesting location, cute little cottage which is the good part of that state, no touristy hotels or people.
True!
I checked out their page on facebook. I wonder how they’ll react when they see pictures of their cottage on your blog.
Actually if you read below, Mr. Alok Bhatt has already replied on their behalf 🙂
Last night we exchanged some tweets too (@ausafabidi)

Thank you. Appreciate your interest. 🙂
Like the fire-lit shot. Did some of this on the beach at a friend’s birthday party. There was no light except a dim, palm-fed fire, and it presented some problems since as dim as the fire was, dried palm fronds burn hot, and everyone was sitting back away from the fire…got lots of bits and pieces of people, which may turn out alright in an abstract sort of way. You’ve got better gear than we do.
Later…
Thanks for stopping by my blog. This vacation spot looks like a fun place to visit. WIll have to check it out.

Hi Ausaf Abidi. I am writing from DueNorth. You had visited Saur cottages in 2012. I wanted to know if we can use some of your photographs for our marketing purpose. They are very nice. Thanks
