Hello Hive Community.
I hope you all are fine. I am also fine here. My post today is based Qurator's Photo Quest Contest topic is Storms. I see new topics of Qurator's Photo Quest every time. And I try to participate. I liked the topic this time a lot and I have presented some photographs related to the Storms here. The first photograph of this photograph is considered as part of my Qurator's Photo Quest contest. The photographs shown today were captured during the Dzongari trek. I will tell you a little about this trek today.
The place shown in the photograph above is Dzongri in Sikkim, India, which is one of the most popular trekking destinations in the Himalayas. At an altitude of about 4,200 meters, Dzongri offers breathtaking views of Kanchenjunga, Pandim, Kabru and many other high peaks. This beauty of nature comes with harsh conditions. Especially during storms at high altitude, this place becomes a bit difficult. The photograph above gives a little idea about the harsh environment.
The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, which can be understood through the photographs above. Here, one moment the sky is clear and the next moment, thick clouds with snow, cold winds and zero visibility are covered. As can be seen in the above photograph, snow dominates the entire scene. A white blanket of snow covers the landscape, making it difficult to distinguish between the sky and the ground. Visibility is poor here. A thick fog-like mist obscures the background, which is a common feature during Himalayan avalanches.
Snowstorms at Dzongri add to the physical and mental challenges of trekking. The thin air at such a high altitude already makes it difficult to breathe. And the storms add to the difficulty by reducing oxygen levels. The cold wind that comes here quickly numbs exposed skin as it passes through clothing. Another problem here is that the ground, hidden under fresh snow, hides rocks and uneven patches. Due to which walking becomes dangerous.
As can be seen in the photograph above, snowstorms at high altitude disrupt navigation. With all the landmarks covered in white, trekkers can easily lose their way. I believe that the storms during the Dzongri trek are both a challenge and a gift. These storms test endurance, resilience and preparation. And at the same time, they also give the gift of unforgettable memories of the Himalayan jungle. This trek is not just about reaching the peak or getting a view, but also about experiencing the journey.
The snowstorm seen in the photographs presented here brings with it both danger and beauty. For trekkers in such harsh environments, surviving such a storm becomes more than just a physical achievement. With this, I conclude my post.
I hope that my post and photographs are selected in the Qurator's Photo Quest Contest Storms .
I sincerely thank you for visiting and reading my post.
