Trekking Notes... Kaphni Glacier

When I first saw the glacier I thought it was rock. Soon I noticed that it was dripping. The whole location was striking... one minute you're in green meadows and jungle, the next there's nothing but rocks, even sand. It seems like you just arrived on Mars. Mahima wanted to get close enough to touch it. She eventually turned back after our repeated screams that she was going to get beaned by one of the rocks tumbling off the top of the glacier and crashing around her. Just after she turned back a stone fell, then bounced right through where she was sitting in this photo with a force that would have taken her head off.
