![Golden Gate Bridge over which connects San Francisco with Pacific ocean is one of the main places to explore in San Francisco. I was there in 2013 and some of the office friends planned a full day Photo Walk around San Francisco. During this Photo-Walk we crossed this bridge many times and went around various places which offer some of the amazing views of the bridge. This Photo Journey shares some of the photographs clicked during this Photo-Walk.The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge links the U.S. city of San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula , to Marin County , bridging both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait.Golden Gate Bridge is one the seven wonders of the modern world. This magnificent bridge, perhaps San Francisco's most famous landmark which was opened in 1937 after a four-year struggle against relentless winds, fog, rock and treacherous tides.Golden Gate bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. It has also been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.We drove to a neighboring hill and enjoyed some of the brilliant views of Golden Gate Bride, Pacific Ocean and an Francisco city. Battery Spencer, Marin County.One need to cross the bridge from the San Francisco side to the Marin County side to Battery Spencer, a former military installation that protected the bridge and the bay from foreign invaders during World War II. Head through the historic army artifacts and crumbling buildings to land’s end where you’ll be able to pose in your very own snapshot of the bridge with the breathtaking background of the entire city of San Francisco behind you.Another photograph of Golden Gate Bridge from Battery Spencer, Marin County..One of the largest urban parks in the world, Golden Gate Park stretches for three miles on the western edge of San Francisco. It's huge and approximately 1000+ acres, which sounds unbelievable.Golden Gate Bridge is 1.7 miles from San Francisco to the Marin headlands. The sidewalks on Golden Gate Bridge are open during the day to pedestrians including wheelchair users and bicyclists. When I was there, I saw huge groups of cyclists enjoying their ride on Golden Gate Bridge.Fort point is another god place to click Golden Gate Bridge. This is a place which exposes you to brilliant architecture of Golden Gate Bridge. This is another former military installation which allows everyone to feel the mist from the bay waves crashing ashore while being directly underneath the bridge. Getting here from Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 is brisk walk and bike ride through the scenic Marina District and into the Presidio along the water’s edge. There’s parking here too, free of charge, but it can be in short supply during peak visiting hours.During the visit we went to the base of Golden Gate Bridge, where lot of surfers were enjoying the pacific waves.We spent some time around the shore and watched these surfers playing with water waves in chilling weather. We were carrying some snacks with us, so thought of having some around the ocean.If you are holding a camera I am sure that you would not want to get away from these beautiful locations which give different view/perspective of Golden Gate Bridge.This is a photograph of huge iron chains installed around the shoreline near Fort point. I clicked lot of photographs of these and would share a separate Photo Journey on that.In few weeks I will be there again and hope to bring back more beautiful memories for you all.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT1XRGmNFvnCcxjxc3d0iBx0FmSuCL6pI6a_Pabb_t7Bv5qkEHLCTWlo1EcRF07UndRM-duRqkXSs4g2blAtJ5THL3zsp6-8KCefQrx5j0ilwLBNU0jo3gDLTfKAk3srBwtJmAwQ4W1e0/s1600/Golden+Bridge+over+Pacific+Ocean+in+San+Francisco,+California,+United+States+of+America-9.jpg)

It was the time when Dalhousie had got snowfall and Khajjiar was nor connected. We posted about Dalhousie, Chamba and Khajjiar. Out of all those posts Mall Road was most searched and hence many of the tourists found us. Dalhousie is no doubt a great hill destination for folks in summers as well as winters, when it's covered with snow.

Visiting Aditya Arya's Farm near Delhi was an exceptional experience for us. Me and Vibha visited him in the month of April. An accomplished Photographer spends his spare time in his farm and want to spend more time here. He did what most of the folks intend to do, but never take any action. This is a must read post, so don't miss if you haven't read it earlier.

![This year was very special for Himachal Tourism, when Great National Himalayan Park is declared as state's first and only exclusive World Heritage site in Himachal Pradesh . It's really a proud moment for appreciators of Himalayan State of India and folks who visited these beautiful terrains of India. There are some of the most interesting and challenging treks in Great National Himalayan Park of Himachal Pradesh . I have been to Shrikhand Mahadev Trek few years back, apart from easy and medium level treks in GNHP. GNHP was established in 80s and is spread over an area of 1100+ square kilometers. It's situated at an altitude of 1500-6000m. The Great Himalayan National Park is a habitat to numerous flora and more than 350+ fauna species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects etc. Above photograph from GNHP talks a lot about it's landscapes, weather and lot more which is difficult to express in words. The Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP) is one of Indian national parks which is located in Kullu region of Himachal Pradesh . GNHP was added to UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites for criteria of 'exceptional natural beauty and conservation of biological diversity'.The Himalayas are the largest, tallest and geologically youngest mountains on our planet. Do you realize that? If not, just read the first line of this paragraph again. In India, Himalayan terrains are known as Dehvbumi (the land of Gods). The unique ecological aspects of the Western Himalaya led to the creation of the Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP) in the Kullu district of India's Himalayan state. GNHP is also known for it's biodiversity, sparse human populations, inaccessibility, little tourism (eco-tourism) and a local economy based on traditional livelihoods. Although some of the livelihoods of GNHP are controversial for many decades now.Few years back, very less people used to know about this part of Himachal Pradesh. Gradually people started noticing the unmatchable natural beauty of Great National Himalayan Park. And then local communities started building tourism opportunities around GNHP. I know some of the great organizations working in Eco-tourism space which offer great experiences of GNHP and ensure that tourists and travellers in GNHP behave responsibly.A trek of more than 40 kilometers in any of valleys of GNHP brings you into the high altitude habitat of animals such as blue sheep, snow leopard, Himalayan brown bear , Himalayan Tahr and musk deer. In the beginning of winters, these animals start the migration to lower altitudes. This starts around end of September or october.GNPH lies between Kullu and Kinnaur. If you search for GNHP on Google Maps, it starts near Banjar, Shainj and on the other side it almost touches the areas around Key in Kinnaur. How to reach - There are various entry points for Great Nationa Himalayan Park. One is from Aut which comes on the way from Chandigarh to Kullu and others are on Shimla-KInnaur highway. From both these highways, you need to take local bus or a cab to enter into GNPH. It never touches the main highways.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-GGyRZTZtcKAo7LTAv5YprhfsG6xecXyPsqrM1MnO-YY9_Nk-VPDseDEt2SnFHWH5m6o2RZ_0hq_9VRyAHH4LYv7YF88SoTVy-vR0SOH2GNHXFeoriaZUWeuQsaBUgYNTttncal4SUiw/s1600/Himachal-1.jpg)
