One of the most beautiful & adventurous treks that I have been to in recent times. This was taken in November,2016. I didn't have a full frame camera back then, so I had to take multiple vertical shots & stitch them later. Only problem, 1st set of shots that I took didn't have a good composition but had brilliant colors, while the 2nd attempt had a better composition but the colors had started to fade..
