Trail to Heaven’s Lake, by Shikchit Khanal

Up in the Himalayas of Nepal, I went to capture the beauty of Tilicho Lake. Though we took many trails along the way, this was, perhaps, the most beautiful trail. I decided to stop and spend the afternoon here trying to capture all the beauty of this Heavenly lake.

Since he was a young boy, Shikchit Khanal always found beauty in everyday life. Born in Kathmandu, Nepal, he never realized that he had very little. He always longed for a life less ordinary, less conventional. Making photographs in his mind of the things he saw around him. He dreamed of one day being able to document the way he viewed the world. He dreamed of travelling and knowing the world through his own eyes and sharing his vision with others. In May 2010, he finally bought his first camera and for the past two years he has been living his dream of travelling and taking photos throughout India and his home country of Nepal where he is currently living with his wife and child to be.
