LOCATION: The landscape shows vast plateau leads to
Gurudongmar Lake, which is one of the highest lakes in the world and in India, at an elevation of 5,430 m (17,800 ft) according to the Government of Sikkim. It is located in the Great Himalayas in the Mangan District in Indian state of Sikkim, and considered sacred by Buddhists, Sikhs and Hindus. The lake is named after Guru Padmasambhava—also known as Guru Rinpoche—founder of Tibetan Buddhism, who visited in the 8th century

The Kangchenjunga landscape is a complex of three distinct ecoregions: the eastern Himalayan broad-leaved and coniferous forests, the Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows and the Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands. The Kangchenjunga transboundary landscape is shared by Nepal, India, Bhutan and China, and comprises 14 protected areas with a total of 6,032 km2 (2,329 sq mi).

Editing: I have not added or deleted any elements from the frame, to show the actual environment while we were approaching towards Gurudongmar Lake, This is also a protected area of India because of Indo-China border.
I used PS CS 2022 to edit the frame, by a desktop computer. I used adobe camera raw 15 filters for correcting the image, enhanced shadow details, managed brightness and exposure.
