Dear Devendra Bharwaj Yes u might have seen Bhojpatra on the way to Rohtang Pass, but kindly recollect, the bark of Betula are very smooth and the bark can be easily removable like a paper so the bark was used to as paper by Rishis and other people. The tree can be seen around 3000 m Altitude.
Moss can be observed even in less than 3000 m altitude. The pciture in the id have fissured bark which could be Pinus roxburghii.
