Light, height and the right hour

Trips built around light: first sun on Khangchendzonga from Pelling, star skies over Chandratal and Hanle, prayer halls at dawn, apricot blossom in April. With notes on where photography is not allowed.

Mountain light changes fast. The best of it is the first and last hour, which means early starts and evenings without a long drive.

Many prayer halls ban photography inside, and drones need permission almost everywhere in the Himalaya. We list the rules for each place, so check current status before you travel.
