Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Very rare glimpse of endangered species of Himalayan buck / musk beer near Nelong in Gangotri National Park (on Nelong - Naga Road), Uttarakhand, India. These animals can climb up the steep Himalayan mountains with unbelievable ease. Took these photographs when I was posted there serving Border Roads organization, Govt of India. Took me 3 months though to photograph them since very rarely these bucks come across humans and if sense human approach, run away within eye flash.

These photographs were in restricted area since international border is near by. Access to these place are regulated. So probability of catching them with eyes is minimum. and photographing them is quite difficult I suppose. These are mostly can be seen during October to December when they come down at 10000ft alt due to extreme cold. Can be found in Jan-Feb near Gangotri temple. But roads remain closed during that time due to thick snow (6-15 ft) layers on roads.
