Read Moreआली बुग्याल बेदनी से महज तीन-चार किलोमीटर की दूरी पर है। खूबसूरती में भी वो बेदनी बुग्याल के उतना ही नजदीक है। कुछ रोमांचप्रेमी घुमक्कड़ आली को ज्यादा खूबसूरत मानते हैं। मुश्किल यही है कि आली को उतने सैलानी नहीं मिलते जितने बेदनी को मिल जाते हैं। जानकार लोग आली की इस बदकिस्मती की एक कहानी भी बताते हैं। किस्सा आली व ऑली में एक टाइपोग्राफी चूक का है। दोनों ही जगह उत्तराखंड में हैं। ऑली बुग्याल जोशीमठ के पास है और इस समय देश के प्रमुखतम स्कीइंग रिजॉर्ट में से एक है। कहा जाता है कि ऑली को मिलने वाली सुविधाएं आली को मिलनी तय थीं। लेकिन बस फैसला होते समय नाम में कोई हर्फ या हिजा इधर से उधर हुआ और आली की जगह ऑली की सूरत बदल गई। हालांकि मेरी नजर में ऑली के हक में एक बात और यह भी जाती है कि वह सड़क के रास्ते में है। जोशीमठ से ऑली के लिए सड़क भी है और रोपवे भी। आली यकीनन खूबसूरत है, लेकिन...

Only then again thousands of pilgrims (this time they were more than 20 thousand) will be reaching here and so many tents would be needed to accommodate them. A magnificent sight terrifying at the same time!! ...

Read MoreWith the hunters of migratory Amur Falcon birds turning into protectors, Nagaland has become the "Falcon capital" of the world. "Against the general perception of Naga people being compulsive hunters, the success of Amur Falcon conservation has put Nagaland on the global map; and the sheer number of the Amur Falcon population here has made it the 'Falcon Capital' of the world," Nagaland's divisional forest officer (Doyang) Zuthunglo Patton said in a statement.
