Switzerland, a picturesque oasis of mountains, lakes, streams, valleys, meadows, snow glaciers and wild flowers - truly a tourist and photographer's paradise! My wife Geeta and I visited this beautiful country in 2012 for two weeks, which had been a childhood dream. We naturally covered all the major towns like Zurich, Geneva and Lucerne, however, we realized that we missed the little towns which we could see from the train while travelling, but were not able to experience more intimately.
In the third week of April, 2015 we arrived in Geneva again. Spring was in full swing. What more could we have asked for? We started our four week travel plan with a purpose to explore and capture the lesser known towns from a small apartment situated in Naters Brig.
Travelling in Switzerland was very convenient with a Swiss Pass (which can be purchased from any railway station). This ticket enabled us to travel all trains, buses, boats, including local transport in all cities. Swiss Rail is indeed one of the best systems in the world.
Our day, after breakfast, used to start at 7.30 am and finish at 9 pm, as we were trying to cover as much as we could. Surprisingly, a month of travelling everyday never felt hectic, rather every day was full of peace, solitude and gratitude - a life time of enjoyment in the waiting. I hope my photos are able to do some justice in capturing the most charming and scenic hamlets and townships this country has been blessed with.
