Spring Storm on Thamserku, by Sujoy Das

On a recent trek to the Gokyo valley in Nepal we stopped for the night at Luza. It started snowing in the afternoon and in the early evening the snow stopped. As the sun was beginning to set the clouds started to clear and this view of Thamserku, one of the satellite peaks of the region was seen from the lodge window.
