Lahaul on the way to the Kukti Pass. West Himalayan Holidays camp, the Kuldeo shrine centre right, the kitchen tent to the left of photo.
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.

Upper Ravi Valley. Several flocks climbing up towards Lakhna Temple. Spring migration in June. Special joined print of images 16 & 17 to show the vertical path. A flock had strayed off the path, a sheep suddenly hurtled though the air to fall with a thud, dead.
