Beauty & The Peaks
May I request to know the camera and its price? I want to buy one but no experience about vendors/ models/ features.

No doubt, It's a great area to trek. Captured very nicely. May I request to share the details of traveling modes, night stays, hotels/rest houses etc. It's all very interesting indeed. Really enjoying this thread.
