I managed a three-day vacation and planned a solo trip to Kashmir towards the end of August. A friend arranged the flight tickets. Since astrophotography was the main objective, I planned the trip during new moon. I chose to go to Yusmarg, 50 km away from Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir. One of my goals was to image the sky along with the beautiful Yusmarg lake.
Special thanks to the members of my Astronomy club "Astronomads Bangla" for their constant support & guidance.
