[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Himalayan landscape was shot by me on my way to Gurudongmar lake at Lachen, North Sikkim. The mountainous terrain is a dedication to Anna Eksteen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
North Sikkim: The land - where haven touches the earth, the ambience creates mystery, landscape dominated by elements, silence can be heard, vision tends to travel beyond the horizon, soul starts meditating- unknowingly, mind gets rejuvenated; and a land that makes you bow.

Lachen is just another surprise unfold in the northern part of Sikkim, India. Lachen is a small settlement, resplendent with sublime beauty. The superlative beauty of Lachen requires certainly a keen eye to behold. For those, who have not traveled yet to Sikkim, it would be pleasant surprise to know that Lachen has been made accessible to the tourists just a few years back. Situated at an altitude of 8,838 ft, Lachen lies on the North Sikkim Highway.

Nature has numerous beautiful aspects and one of these facets comes alive at Lachen. This small hamlet rests on a verdant plain land that is segregated by cavernous ravines of Lachen. The multi-hued mountains, along with snowy peaks and black cliffs, appear to rise from Lachen. Lachen is inhabited by very less number of people.

Hello Subhash !
What a majestic and impressive mountain ! I like the composition of this picture, the natual colors, the POV, but also the clouds that are circling aounf the mountain, it gives the picture something like a mysterious aspect, like the mountain in a fairy tale ! :-) Very well done !
