You could also head to the Kullu Valley after Barot; the wide river bend there gives a great foreground of riparian trees that change color in October. If you have time, a quick detour to the pass near Bir Billing before sunset will give you the high altitude silhouette against the river’s calm surface. A polariser helps cut glare and reveals the green canopy. If you’re staying nearby, the Hotel Kullu Valley A River Facing Boutique Hotel is right on the riverbank, so you can shoot valley and river in one frame.
