Capturing the Majesty of the Himalayas at an Altitude of 5,300 meters

During our thrilling helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Mount Everest Base Camp, I had the incredible opportunity to capture breathtaking photos of the Himalayas. The aerial perspective offered a mesmerizing glimpse into the awe-inspiring beauty of the world's highest mountain and the entire Himalaya mountain range. One of our stops along the way was Dudh Pokhari, a place also known as "The Milky Pond of Nepal." Situated at an altitude of 5,300 meters, Dudh Pokhari provided a unique vantage point to appreciate the magnificent high-altitude landscape. Also, Dudh Pokhari holds great significance during Janai Purnima, a Hindu festival celebrated in Nepal and certain parts of India. During this occasion, people partake in a ritual bath and change their sacred thread. They receive a fresh thread from a priest, which they tie around their wrist as a symbol of protection and purity. It is believed that visiting Dudh Pokhari during Janai Purnima allows devotees and travelers to cleanse themselves of sins - Dudh Pokhari, Gandaki, Nepal
