Rajeev Hello I love the composition. This is a great vantage point. That said, my eye wants to twist this image alittle in the counterclockwise direction. I think if the blacks in the rocky crags were more prominent it would help this image pop. I don't have the pp skill to do what I say. I will leave it for others more experienced.
Way to go on finding such a lovely scene.

Very pleasing and inviting... me too thinks a slight counter clockwise rotation is needed

A beautiful area to be visiting and shooting in. I do like your image; the scenery is lovely. However, in all honesty, I think it lacks a little impact. I think if you were to have an opportunity to shoot it again with a wide-angle lens you can make the image have more "edge" by having some foreground interest to anchor your image. When shooting with a wide-angle lens I'll try to find an object I can get very close to, so to give the image some more foregound/midground/background perspective. Perhaps a rock in the foreground, or a tuft of grass. I'm thinking composed something like in the example below.



I will also look for something to provide a leading line that will carry the viewer's eye into the image.
The river/road off to the right could help with that; it could provide a leading line into the mountains. And if you got close to that foreground, then it will also give more sense of depth.
I'm thinking a composition something like the image below.



At the moment, the immense scale of the mountains in your photos is lost a little. To be honest I think the composition you have in this photo would have had more impact shot with a telephoto length to compress the foreground and background more. Something like the one below.

Thanks for all the comments and will work further on improving the pictures.
Trace i definitely have a plan to visit the valley during April May time frame when the valley will be blooming with flowers.
