Best of Both The Worlds
Tanzania, seen from Kenya
The mountains are beautiful and fragile. It is an abode for locals and their home. Communities who inhabit mountain regions live in harmony and take care of the habitat. But over the years, glaciers have disappeared and biodiversity has depleted because of the rising temperatures around the globe. Mountain regions are more sensitive to global warming than other terrestrial spaces. A greater degree of caution should be exercised when travelling to the mountains. The idea of sustainable tourism, regenerative travel and working alongside local communities will help solve the problem perhaps.
On the way to Stok Kangri, the highest peak in the Stok Range in Ladakh in North India. It is located in the Hemis National Park. At 6070 M, it was first climbed in 1951.
Somewhere on the Everest trail in the Khumbu region in Nepal. Porters seen against the backdrop of Ama Dablam walking from Lobuche to Periche.
The climb from Periche takes you to Tukla top where you see prayer flags fluttering in the wind and cairns for those who have lost their lives on Everest.
