July 24th 2012 morning at 6 am both of us along with our guide started trekking towards Valley of Flowers with sufficient food and water. We reached there by 8 am. At that time it was cloudy and bit chill. My eyes were seeking for sun. after sometime clouds made way for sun to see us. I was so much happy and quickly changed my lens to shoot close up shots. That happiness was not very long, not even an hour. Sun was frequently playing hide and seek with us. so as much as possible I tried to shoot pictures by changing suitable lens often. later sun disappeared we spent an hour by observing the beautiful landscape and activities of insects. then mist formed and it started drizzling before it started to rain we left the place.
On the way we encountered with rain.
