A photograph of a steep hillside mountain path in Uttarakhand with a stone retaining wall on the right and a concrete walkway on the left. Several pilgrims in saffron-orange clothing walk up the path; a man in a loose orange wrap and white dhoti carries an orange flag on a pole, and others follow in orange, with a young man in a yellow sweater and white shirt beside them. On the left, local men in woollen caps and sweaters stand and watch, and a man sits wrapped in a blanket. Above, a blue tarpaulin tent shelters pack mules, and a white board with Hindi text hangs over the path. The setting is lush green vegetation and rocky slopes, consistent with a Himalayan yatra trail.
