Capturing the Himalayas: the Art of Hiking with Professional Camera Gear

Aug 30, 2010 by Light & Composition Facebook Page

The word Himalaya cames from Sanskrit language and it means “Abode of snow”. It’s a name of breathless beauty in every sense of the word. However, going over there and capturing its beauty with professional equipment requires experience, planning, and timing.

August is the month when one can be in Himalaya region and start organizing. The popular Leh to Manali road is usually open at this time. One could start from Ladakh, India, which is located in the western Himalaya. There you can experience the vast Tibetan plateau and explore this “Little Tibet” and then move to Nepal. One can watch wildlife in Langtang and finally finish with the relaxing, stunning mountain views and classic tea house trekking in the world’s deepest valley in the Annapurna region, by the end of October.

      very beautiful magazine and excellent article. How weight balances makes all the difference. And truly, if you suffer from dragging stuff about, your entire focus is on your personal agony and you lose focus on the beauty around you.
