A view of a 6,700 metre high peak from across the valley. We had to climb to around 5,000 metres to get this angle.

Location: Spangting Range, Ladakh. Day 8 of the photoblogging challenge. ๐Ÿ“ท

@maique ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ Another 90 seconds and we would have lost the view. That entire mountain was shrouded for the next three days.

@purisubzi Even better now that Iโ€™m aware of that. I love that part of photography, fleeting moments all the time...

@purisubzi Your photos and stories have tempted me throughout the last few months to explore India. Oh January you better come fast!

@purisubzi Thats a great view, and dedication to get it photographed. I searched for it on Apple Maps and Google Maps, but didnโ€™t find it. I found Ladakh thou.

@odd Thank you! Yes, it was hard work. We started hiking/climbing around 3AM. Finally reached where we wanted to around 9AM. You won't find that location on any map, it's too remote :) Open this Google Maps link and locate the village of Likir. We were somewhere north of it and above it.

@chaitanya I can't wait to get out either. Most of my work revolves around going to remote places and I am really, really missing it.

@purisubzi Thank you for the link. Thatโ€™s truly in the wilderness. The photo must look great on large prints! The location reminds me of the movie Lost Horizon, which may have been inspired by Kashmir.

@odd I hadn't heard of Lost Horizon! I'll look it up. Yes, that picture looks amazing as a large print, especially on metallic paper. I made a set of A2 sized ones a few months ago and one of them currently is hanging in my bedroom.

@purisubzi @odd Oooh, I remember seeing Lost Horizon as a kid. The story made a huge impression on me, and I wondered if such a place could really exist.

@macgenie Yes, I saw it as a kid too, and wondered if there were such a place in the Himalayas or so.
