Upper Ravi Valley, Lakhna Temple Pass. There is a flock at the bottom of print 16 (or the top of 17), and another just beginning the path in no. 17. We were watching from the other side of the hill. The upper flock began to leave the path and scatter over the hillside to graze. Our companions shouted at the shepherd that it was dangerous sheep and rocks might fall. Then, legs up, a large sheep flew through the air, landing on the path far below with an ominous thud.

Gaddi, Nestled by the tree at the top is the temple to Lakhna Devi, to whom obeisance should be made to ensure a safe journey for men and animals.

The Upper Budil Valley. A shepherds’ track is just visible across the middle hill. The lack of trees indicates that this is a south-facing hill where snow doesn’t lie, so tree growth is sparse.
