 A view from Window on 4/1/2017, Kewzing, South Sikkim.

Mt Narsing is a part of Kanchenjunga range , also spelled Kangchenjunga or Kinchinjunga, Nepali Kumbhkaran Lungur, world’s third highest mountain, with an elevation of 28,169 feet (8,586 metres)

The name Kanchenjunga is derived from four words of Tibetan origin, usually rendered Kang-chen-dzo-nga or Yang-chhen-dzö-nga and interpreted in Sikkim as the “Five Treasuries of the Great Snow.” The mountain holds an important place in the mythology and religious ritual of the local inhabitants, and its slopes were no doubt familiar to herdsmen and traders for centuries before a rough survey of it was made.

Equipment Nikon D750, Nikon 200-500 mm , Tripod and Remote
F8,ISO 50, Focal length 210mm,SS 1/60s,Spot metering, Manul mode, WB cloud.

Love that touch of gold at the peak.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.
