Milky Way over Pangong Tso

Situated at an altitude of 14000 feet, Pangong Tso is one of the highest lakes in India situated in eastern Ladakh. The image shows the Sagittarius arm of the milky way over the Heritage Camp tents where we stayed for the night. The scene was an exceptional one to be able to see (almost) with the naked eyes accompanied by strong airglow on some parts of the sky. We were fighting the real feel of -20 degrees celcius with strong winds at the location. This is one of the many images that we were able to capture from the trip.
