Rajiv Kumar-RKBHARAT

Can't wait to hit the snow in the upcoming winter

Some more amazing stuff introduced by TASCAM.

I really love the form factor of this new field recorder. With 32 bit float recording and Timecode support, this could be a nice solution for cinematographers looking for a portable field studio recorder.

I guess zoom need to catch up fast :P

Did I miss Dakhrain Mela? - Drive from Chasak to Parmar Bhatori - Pangi Valley EP7

After a wonderful last night sleep at the homestay of Chasak Bhatori, it was a wonderful morning today. Early morning I took some time-lapses and walked around the village and talked to the locals.

Around 9AM we started our trek back to chasak village, which took me around 90mins this time. At chasak village I had tea and some food at my guide's house and then I left for Parmar Bhatori.

On the way I stopped at Sechu to buy some snacks and drinks and then drove non stop. The views were so beautiful that I missed the turn just before Sach village that takes you to Kumar and then Parmar Bhatori. and eventually ended up at Phindru, where dhaba owner sent me back to right route.

From Sach towards Kumar, there is a tarmac road for I guess 3 -4 km, and after that it all broken trail. On the way I checked the only homestay at Kumar and decided to take a call of staying here or not later.

I drove straight to Parmar Bhatori first and visited the monastery and then had a cup of tea at the lama ji's house. While talking to them, they told me that Dakhrain mela was today and not tomorrow, which shocked me. All this time I was planning for 18-19 July for the mela.

Finally I decided to drive back to Killar and reconfirm the dates.
