Alpenglow moment in Kanchenjunga


via Instagram

A beautiful alpenglow moment on the mighty Kanchenjunga in Sikkim Himalayas!

Trek to Dzongri La started at 3am, in the pricking cold. We slowly marched up from our campsite with only lights from our headlamps guiding us on a starlit night. Shivering and panting, slowly warming up with each step of the climb. After nearly 2 hours of slippery ascend, we reached the summit. The panoramic view of snowcapped mountains only seemed like a giant shadow against the predawn sky. But when the first light hit the peaks, it was pure magic! A moment that was worth experiencing after all the hardship!

Have you experienced alpenglow moment in the mountains? How did you feel watching the mountains turn colors?
