Gyirong Valley is located at the border of Nepal and Tibet. It is lush with vegetation, very different from Tibet’s barren semi-desert landscape. Many mountain peaks surround the region, with the tallest peak, Langbo Kangri, at 6,648 m (21,811 ft) above sea level.
This photo was taken early in the morning from a hotel room window, where we had made a pitstop on our way to Mount Kailash. I had barely gotten up from my bed and was literally stunned by the view from the window.
