I hiked on the Goecha La (4940 m.) trail in the Khangchendzonga National Park in west Sikkim for 7 days. It poured almost every day and there were clouds everywhere. On a couple of occasions, the weather gods decided to take rest for a while and I got to see some peaks and glaciers.
This image was taken from the Dzongri top. Started the hike from Dzongri campsite at 5 in the morning and reached the top in around 30 minutes to see the sunrise. Saw the warm hues, collected some energy and photos and got back to the campsite. And then it was time to walk till Thansing, the next campsite.
