This photo is from an 8 day hike from Ransi village, Uttarkhand, India to Kedarnath Temple in the Himalayas. The trek passes through the beautiful Mandani Valley where legend says that Devi Durga slew the demon Mahishasura.
When I got out of the tent at 5:00 am to photograph the peak, it was covered in thick clouds. I waited for around an hour or so and fortunately the clouds lifted and simultaneously they lit up in the rays of the rising sun. That made my day :)
Gear use: Nikon D7200, Tokina 11-16, CPL filter.
