After enjoying picture-postcard views of Engelberg, it was time to ascend to the highest summit of the Susten Pass region, albeit in a very touristy way!
Waiting to get on to cable car...
Merchandise on sale...
In the queue...
There were far too many Chinese here...
It felt as though we were somewhere in China...
And up we go...
The view below...
Ascending the mountain...
It was a sunny day today, a good day to be here...
The view was quite pretty...
The view below was so pretty, I just kept staring below...
We had to go for that ride...
Going ooh la la...
The stunning view again left us spellbound...
Can't say anything more...
Finally at Klein Titlis...
Finally on the Ice Flyer...
A stunning view of the Alpine ranges....
The clouds leave a stunning shadow...
The Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge standee says it all...
It is said that the Chopras of YRF Films have a cosy tieup with Swiss Tourism to draw hordes of Bollywood crazed fans to Switzerland...
Two Pakistani men asked me to click their pics with the standee... The seductive charms of Bollywood transcend borders...
Another Lindt store...
Our lunch...
Neeti opted for the Indian buffet - 2 Euros per 200 gram... That's the way they market themselves to Indians...
I opted for a very meaty farmer's sausage with Hungarian Goulash... Quite a flashback...
Enjoying the view...
...with a very strong Schnapps Coffee...
Time to head back...
I guess I saw ski tracks...
Some more stunning views...
I would pay a million for these views...
A casino in Lucerne positions itself for the Chinese...
A GourmIndia stall - Neeti was tempted to have a pav-bhaji here...
The prices here were exorbitant, but attracted tourists nonetheless...
A Chinese group stopped by and ordered pav bhaajis... And it was interesting to see how they spread the bhaaji on the pav as though it were some kind of spread!
And this proved what I had been saying for long - Indian cuisine alongwith Bollywood can be potent tools to develop our soft power!
