Each time I post a blog, it has become a customary practice to share a dedicated photo blog. A photo blog is a striped down version of the original blog offering more visual content and fewer words. This is, especially for the social media generation/addicts that have short attention span. Having said that, here’s the link to my original blog.

INTRODUCTION:

When one begins visiting Himalayas, it’s a start of a fascinating journey with no end to it. The alluring nature of these majestic natural formations will entice you to visit them time and again! My first Himalayan journey dates back to the year 2015. And, since then, I have been visiting these spectacular mountain ranges on the planet every year. A lot of preparations go in with each such trek. The very first activity is to identify the range. The Himalayan Mountain range is vast and it runs from west-northeast (Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan) to east-southwest (Tibet Autonomous Region in China) across massive distance of about 2,400 km. Typically, I look for picturesque landscapes with wider scope for experiencing the many spectacular mountain peaks. The time of visit is a crucial factor too. After a lot of analysis, I decided to visit the Eastern range of Himalayas. Situated in the north-eastern Indian state of Sikkim, the spectacular Goecha La trek, at a staggering altitude of 15,100 feet, is always a mesmerizing experience! What’s more exciting is that a major part of this trek is along the path overlooking the massive Kanchenjunga range of mountains, the third highest mountain in the world!

So, sit back and savour a virtual Himalayan journey with me!
