Most of these pictures were presented at IRFCA Chennai in Jan '07 but never uploaded to the gallery thereafter due to sheer procrastination on my part! They were taken by Bharat Vohra and I with a lot of logistical help from my brother-in-law who was resident in Mhow at that time. The aerial shots were taken by my cousin Shrimoy who was earning his CPL at Indore at the same time. He joined me on a train ride up and down the ghat section one day and was so charmed by the beauty of the Choral Valley that he decided to revisit it - from the air! Mohan Bhuyan
