A Newfound Village, by Shikchit Khanal

While returning from Spiti Valley, India, I came across Reckong Peo, a small village that I was totally unaware of. From up above we stopped to take few apples from the local trees, and then suddenly I saw this amazing view of this mountain village, and waited in vain to see the mountain.
