I took this photograph last year on my way to Bijli Mahadev Trek- A famous Shiv temple situated at a height of 7800 feet. While on our way back to home, I found this lady staring at our camera kit and selfie stick wondering what this stuff is all about while we were taking some pics and resting under the shadows of the tree. What grabbed my attention was the smile she had on her face while seeing us, irrespective of the fact that she has climbed more than 6k feet which is good enough to make some youngster tired enough and still has to climb few more to reach the top. This also draws our attention to the tough life hilly peoples go through every day to earn their living and for their day to day activities.
