Photographer's Note

The Naggar Castle located near Manali is in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, India. This unique medieval structure having an architectural blend of western and Himalayan style was built around 1460 AD, by Raja Sidh Singh of Kullu. The castle is scenically located near the river Beas and offers beautiful panoramic views of the valleys and snow capped mountains.

The ancient castle has been recently turned into a heritage hotel and has been opened for tourists by the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation.

Hello sayan,
I always love to see mountainscapes,himachal is one of the most beautiful state in india for variety of mountain.i already travelled most of sreas in himachal.it has wide range of variety in colors features shapes.Here you have presented a strong example of it.
the colors of sky and the greeny mountain with snowclad peaks are nicely differentiated,overall exposure mainly control of light is appriciable. Good word budy..!!
