Several army establishments dotted the landscape alongside the winding roads. Many of these roads are maintained by  Border Roads Organisation , known for their indomitable spirit.  (Sikkim, 2017)

Oxford Book Store, Darjeeling You cannot miss this beautiful structure of Oxford Book Store when you step into Chowrasta at Darjeeling . Not only this bookstore has a great facade and structure, it is quite impressive for its selection of books about the himalayan region.

Tabo monastery, Spiti Tabo Monastery in Spiti Valley , Himachal Pradesh was established in the year 996. It is the oldest continuously operating Buddhist enclave in both India and th e Himalayas. Loved it for the rustic and simplistic approach apart from the wonderful textural quality of its surfaces. This picture of Tabo monastery will be on display at my show at Nehru Centre, Worli, Mumbai from Tuesday 16th August to Monday 22nd August 2016. Experience it at my show.
