Don't forget to carry binoculars on a short trip to Manali National Park as this is the place where tourists can spot Himachal's state bird, Manual Pheasant. All thanks to its beauty and the expansive wilderness, the nature park attracts a large number of tourists from across the world.
The park can be easily distinguished from a distant place, just because of its tall cedar and deodar trees. The Manali Nature Park is flanked by many snow-capped mountains. If tourists think that in Manali Nature Park they will find some wild weird animals, then this is just a misconception. Here, you can catch only spot only small birds and mammals.
Nature Park ManaliLike the other animal reserves in Himachal Pradesh, Manali Nature Park is a dense land dotted with Deodar, Kail, Horse chestnut, Walnut and Maple trees which add to its beauty. A cluster of trees reaches the sky and forms a dark canopy which seems like silhouettes of mountains from a distance. Sunrays passing through the giant trees lit up the green pastures instantly.
Want to get a picture clicked with cute and snow white rabbits? Then book your tickets to Manali. While ambling about in the Manali nature park, visitors can get a glimpse of the Musk deer, Monal and Brown bear.
The Manali Nature Park is an educational centre as well; here the authority of the park educates the visitors about the national park and animal behaviour. The plains and landscapes of Manali can rejuvenate and refresh the tourists who wish to take a break from the fast paced life in the plains. The fringe areas of the park facing the river look dramatic.
Manali National Park is an oasis of greenery and an ideal place for varied fauna and flora, a real treat for nature enthusiasts.

Sach Pass, located at a distance of around 127 km, is one of the more offbeat places to visit from Chamba. Situated at an elevation of 4420 meters, this pass connects Chamba Valley with Pangi Valley. It is open to vehicular traffic only from late June to early October. Rest of the time it remains closed due to heavy snowfall.
Trisul is one of the more majestic mountains of the Garhwal region of the Himalayas. India's highest mountain, Nanda Devi (25,645 ft.), is northeast of Trisul, connected by a long narrow crest. Trisul was the first of the Garhwal mountains to be climbed, an ascent which even more importantly marked the world's first ascent of a 7,000 meter peak. In 1976, Trisul became the first 7,000 meter peak to be descended from summit to snowline on skiis. Today it remains the most frequently climbed of India's 7,000 meter peaks. The entire Garhwal region is holy to Hindus, but Trisul's role in Hindu legend is unique. Trisul was said to be the trident of Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and reproduction. Early expeditions to the mountain faced difficulties with fearful porters who were reluctant to approach the sacred summit.
Hike, bike or helicopter your way to the top of the Thorung La (5,416m) to spend the next three days riding epic lines towards the bottom of the world’s deepest gorge, the Kali Ghandaki. Technical descents, sweeping single track, flowing forest trails and spectacular mountain vistas; this ride is what mountain bikers’ dreams are made of!
The Himalayan brown bear is one of the most ancient brown bear lineages. It’s a very large animal, with a big head, small eyes and stocky limbs. It is believed by some that the bear’s ability to walk upright probably gave rise to the legend of the Yeti or “Abominable Snowman.” People from the area call the brown bear “spang drenmo” (“spang” means grass and “drenmo” means bear), literally meaning “vegetarian bear.” The Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus), on the other hand, is called “shai drenmo” (“shai” means meat), or non-vegetarian bear.
Although locals call it a vegetarian, the Himalayan brown bear is actually an omnivore. They are found above the timberline, between 3,000 and 5,500 meters (9,800 and 18,000 feet) above sea level. The bear depends on the sparse herbaceous vegetation in the area, supplemented by occasional small mammals like the Himalayan marmot (Marmota himalayana) in Nepal and the golden marmot (Marmota caudata) in Pakistan. Interestingly, the bears on the Tibetan plateau are primarily carnivorous, feeding mainly on the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae).
In India, not much is known about the Himalayan brown bear. A questionnaire survey among forest officials in 2006 conducted by Sambandam Sathyakumar from the Wildlife Institute of India put the number at 500 to 750, spread among 23 protected areas and 18 other localities in the northern states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Their potential habitat range in India is estimated at 4,300 square kilometers (about 1,660 square miles), of which very little is protected.
Nanga Parbat-8125m
Summit: 02-10-2017 at 12:40pm
Nanga Parbat is the 9th highest mountain. I tried NP in May-June but couldn't figure out the true summit so I returned back in September and this time we made it to the summit. We finished the expedition in short time as we had everyday sunny day. It was of really good condition and we were lucky to reach all to summit safely. - Mingma G
“The team reached base camp on September 16 and made the successful ascent on October 2 in a short time as the weather remained really good during our climb,” Sherpa shared with this daily.
According to him, this is his 5th 8,000m summit in 2017 and also the 12th 8,000m summit. “Among them, I have made 11 ascents without supplemental oxygen,” he said.
Earlier, the Sherpa-led team had also reached the summit ridge of Nanga Parbat in June but didn’t make the true summit. Though the climbing season in Pakistan has generally closed every year from mid- August this year he formed a team to climb Nanga Parbat.
Almost every landslide has multiple causes. Slope movement occurs when forces acting down-slope (mainly due to gravity) exceed the strength of the earth materials that compose the slope. Landslides can be triggered by rainfall, snowmelt, changes in water level, stream erosion, changes in groundwater, earthquakes, disturbance by human activities, or any combination of these factors.
All these places are safe to visit but please avoid going to the hilly areas in rains and Drive safe.
This grizzly bear fight was filmed during the mating season, which occurs from May to July.
Adult males, like the ones in this video, are particularly aggressive and are avoided by females and juveniles outside the breeding season.
To avoid getting into a grizzly bear fight of your own, give bears a wide berth. If you do find yourself in an altercation with an angry grizzly, pepper spray has been found to be the most effective deterrent, working in 92 percent of reported incidents.
Firearms can also be used to ward off grizzly bears. A 12 gauge shotgun with slugs has proven the most effective.
Other precautions, such as cooking at least 100 feet away from your camp and properly disposing of waste, can limit the possibility of attracting grizzly bears in the first place.
Wildlife videographer Brad Josephs witnessed this grizzly bear fight on the Alaska Peninsula.
Check out the clip and watch what most people miss.
No news of any casualty yet. please be safe and avoid hilly areas in rain.
History:
From 1857 onwards, several unsuccessful attempts were made to climb the Matterhorn, mostly from the Italian side. When Edward Whymper arrived in Valtournenche in July 1865, this was already his sixth summer season in the area. During the previous five summers, Whymper had failed to climb the mountain regarded as the King of the Alps and considered to be unclimbable. It is not the highest summit: the Monte Rosa, almost directly opposite, is higher by almost 170 metres. Yet the mighty rock pyramid had so far defeated all would-be conquerors. Each unsuccessful climb boosted the mountain’s aura of invincibility, so that even experienced local mountain guides often turned down generous offers from foreign expedition leaders. But the Briton did not believe in mountain demons, and his project was based on calm reflection. He had studied the books of Horace Bénédict de Saussure and come to the conclusion that the mountain could be conquered from the Swiss north-east ridge rather than the Italian south-west. It was not Breuil that would be his starting point, but Zermatt! The place where Mont Cervin was known as the Matterhorn – where Whymper had once fallen almost 60 metres.
In 1862, John Tyndall was the first to climb the south-west shoulder, today’s Pic Tyndall, together with the guides Bennen, Anton Walter, Jean-Jacques and Jean-Antoine Carrel. The continuation of the ascent along the Liongrat ridge seemed impossible to him. Whymper also regarded the Liongrat ridge as unfeasible. He therefore tried to persuade his friend Jean-Antoine Carrel to attempt an ascent from the Zermatt side, but the latter insisted that he wanted to climb from the Italian side. In July 1865, Whymper happened to learn from a publican in Breuil that Carrel had set off for the Liongrat ridge again – without informing Whymper. Whymper felt he had been deceived, and hurried to Zermatt in order to assemble a group for an immediate attempt via the Hörnligrat ridge.
On 14 July 1865, Whymper’s 7-man team completed the first ascent of the Matterhorn. The group climbed onto the shoulder over the Hörnligrat ridge and, further up, in the area of today’s fixed cables, diverted onto the north face. Edward Whymper was the first to reach the summit, followed by the mountain guide Michel Croz (from Chamonix), the Reverend Charles Hudson, Lord Francis Douglas, Douglas Robert Hadow (all from England) and the Zermatt mountain guides Peter Taugwalder senior and Peter Taugwalder junior. They spotted Carrel and his group far below on the Pic Tyndall. As the climbers were descending again, and while still above the so-called “Schulter” (“Shoulder”), the four leading men in the rope group (Croz, Hadow, Hudson and Douglas) fell to their deaths on the north face. Three of the dead were recovered several days later on the Matterhorn Glacier, but the remains of Lord Francis Douglas were never found.
Carrel also reached the summit three days later by traversing from the north end of the Italian shoulder across the upper west face and onto the Zmuttgrat ridge (the so-called Galleria Carrel), and then completed the ascent along the ridge.

The clip starts with the man nervously describing the scene as two bear cubs and a mother bear are walking towards him on a trail in Katmai National Park in Alaska.
"I am walking backwards on the trail backward to the camp, the man says calmly. "The mom and the cubs keep following me and are walking at least as fast as I am."
"What I don't want to do as I'm walking backwards is stumble," the man admits in the clip.
Understanding the severity of the situation and possible deadly outcomes, the man starts pleading with the animals.
"Come on, guys," the man says, "give me a break."
Eventually, the man and the cubs made it back to camp, and the animals can be seen walking away from the man at the edge of a body of water.
Though the interaction went about as smoothy as one could expect with a grizzly and her cubs chasing you on a trail, the credit should go to the man, who handled the situation properly. He kept himself calm, and walked away from the bears with a watchful eye.
Some people simply withdraw. I deal with my discomfort usually by writing about it. When I write about something, the discomfort often leaves me completely, like a passing storm.
I don't think that staying with discomfort comes naturally. And finding ways to be with your discomfort is an essential skill for staying in the race. Any personal growth usually involves some kind of ability to stay with feelings of discomfort.
Let's face it. If you are a seeker of any kind you will push boundaries. When we reach for personal transformation and start pushing edges and boundaries in our lives - we meet "the big work" and feelings of discomfort and wanting to flee from change surface. - Pamela Madsen

This video will make your palm sweat!
The area shown in the video will get completely submerged once the Parvati dam will be functional.
The Parvati River enters the Beas just above Bhuntar and its ethereally beautiful valley stretches back up to the hot springs at Manikaran and beyond into the 5000m heights of the Great Himalayan Range. The Valley has a well-deserved reputation for its charas (hashish), and several villages have been transformed into hippie/backpacker hangouts, offering cheap accommodation, international food and nonstop music to crowds of international travelers. Like Manali, the Parvati is a favorite destination along the 'hummus trail' followed by post–military service Israeli travelers. It's also increasingly popular among young Indians. Police sometimes set up checkpoints along the roads to search for charas.
