Tawang Monastery

We invited readers to send in their favourite travel pic -- that one photograph that perfectly captures the beauty of a place they visited. And we have been inundated with stunning pics of every corner of India.

First, BS Sanjeev's picture of the famous Tawang Monastery shot on a bright December morning. He writes, "This Buddhist monastery is the largest in India and the second largest in the world. It is located at a height of 10,000 ft and provides a breathtaking view of the nature around it. The 12-hour-drive from Tezpur via Sela Pass and a visit to the China border are the experience of a lifetime."

Do you have a photograph that perfectly captures the beauty of a place -- of a breathtaking peak or a picture-perfect seashore? Share it with the world. Simply send in your photograph (original photos only) to travelpicsga@rediffmail.com (subject line: 'My travel pic'), along with your name, the name of the place, a short description of the photograph, when you visited and what you liked most about the place.
