Its a well written post :).<br />I was in the SP 22 batch last year and I relived the Sarpass trek after reading this post :).<br /><br />We were all clueless as to how to fix Aniket's dislocated shoulder as none of us knew the procedure :(. And he had to walk all night with a dislocated shoulder all night to reach the highway to reach Kullu!!! <br /><Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306540234684735666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459847905519701775.post-7859196230354618882012-05-24T09:14:07.145-07:002012-05-24T09:14:07.145-07:00@Rocket Boys,

Your camera is new so you might be a bit more careful about it right now. But as you get used to it, you will slowly stop worrying about it. :)<br />I had purchased used camera so I wasn't extra cautious about using it.

thanks for your kind words!
Which tripod ...@bukai,<br /><br />thanks for your kind words!<br />Which tripod do you have? Tripod was needed for the kind of photos I wanted to take. What kind of photos do you want to take? If you want photos during the climb, then you don't need one and you won't have time and energy for that. However, if you want night shots/star trails etc, then tripod is obviously a must. <br /><br />cheers,<br /hrishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673586565404022929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459847905519701775.post-11232837079323978252012-04-07T09:44:34.293-07:002012-04-07T09:44:34.293-07:00Very elaborate and informative write up.Pics are a...Very elaborate and informative write up.Pics are also wonderful.<br /> Need an info: do u think carrying a proper tripod will b a stupid decision?I am planning for the trek in mid may.bukaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18041034610289930460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459847905519701775.post-36028098244054117362012-02-21T08:42:17.664-08:002012-02-21T08:42:17.664-08:00Thanks Sandip.

Glad that you are going for this trek. I...Deepak, <br /><br />Glad that you are going for this trek. I didn't have much issue with the battery. I carried 2 batteries, constantly changing them whenever I had time. More important was not overshooting (everything looks so photogenic that your first instance is to shoot, hence you drain the battery pretty soon). My best advice will be to take another casual point and shoot camera for hrishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673586565404022929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459847905519701775.post-82191684686535501962012-02-12T15:48:35.942-08:002012-02-12T15:48:35.942-08:00Beautiful photography.
