A bicycle in the fog on the Dolidana temple trail near Almora

Almora, Uttarakhand · September 2020

A dirt trail through chir forest in thick September fog — here’s the path to the Dolidana temple in Almora.

Trails like this are the reason to pick up a bicycle. On a clear day, the downhill alone is worth the climb. But on a morning like this, the whole ride becomes something worth longing for.
