Imagine glaciers & snowfields glistening under the sun, crystal-clear alpine lakes, and lush forests that shift from pine to rhododendron as you climb. The contrast between the dark rocky cliffs and pure white snow gives it that iconic 'black & white' vibe. ⚫️⚪️

Today, it's not just a spiritual landmark but a must-visit for trekkers, photographers, and culture lovers. Whether you're hiking the trails, snapping Insta-worthy shots, or just soaking in the views, this mountain is pure magic. ✨
