In and around the Lama Camp

It is a late start to the day at the Lama camp. Nevertheless, the view form our tents atop the hill is truly stunning as we look across the mixture of white puffy clouds envelping the green mountains. Promise of good birdlife around is enough to wash away our late night blues. Some interesting plant life around too. So here are some shots of the 2 days at the Lama Camp. This is the first and main camp in Eaglenest and since the present Dalai Lama crossed through this path when he fled from Tibet to India in 1958, it has derived its name as the Lama Camp. Some views of the interesting flora and fauna as well as our campsite are shown in this section
