On the way trekking into the Great Himalayan national park. This barbet had been calling away for some time and one of our porters walking up ahead, signaled me his position. Rounding a corner of the trail edged by steep slopes and a rushing Tirthan river 300 ft+ below, I saw it perched on this branch in the tree's canopy. The image is a bit grainy as had to use a high ISO, the light was poor.
