Hello Hive community.
I hope you all are fine. I am also fine here. My post today is purely about photographs of natural scenes and their beauty. Each of the photographs in my post today is of an amazing view of the Milky Way seen in the early morning. It is not possible to see such a view from every place. Today's photographs are captured early in the morning while standing on top of Kedarkantha mountain. Kedarkantha is a beautiful place near Wildlife Center in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand state of India. Two wonderful scenes can be captured from the top of Kedarkantha in the early morning. Either early in the morning or when the sun has not risen, then a wonderful view of the Milky Way is seen. Secondly, as the sun comes out from behind the mountains, the sunrise here is also a wonderful view.
Air pollution and light pollution have increased a lot in the present time. If you live in any big city, if you look at the sky in the evening, hardly 4 to 5 stars are visible in the sky. There are two main reasons for this. In cities, the night time is very high and the amount of pollution and dust in the atmosphere is high. Because of this, stars close to the earth or stars that are very bright like the pole star can be seen in the same sky at night. This is a fact.
I am very much in love with nature and never miss to visit a place that is rich in natural scenery. All the photographs in today's post are captured from the top of Kedarkantha. Had a one night stay at the top of Kedarkantha. That night also ended soon because we had to get up early to enjoy the wonderful view of the sunrise, but also to watch the sky and the Ganges. I have never seen such a sight before as I saw in the sky that day. Every star in the Milky Way could be seen from here, which was a big deal. I also captured that look in the camera, the photographs of which I am sharing with you here.
The highest peak of Kedarkantha is 12450 feet i.e. 3800 meters above the sea level. One has to climb the mountain by walking at such a height and placing one's own on one's back. It takes about 3 days to reach the highest peak of Kedarkantha with 8 to 10 kilometers of mountain climbing per day. Due to which one feels very tired. As if you reach the top of the mountain like a dead body, your tiredness will fly away after seeing the wonderful view there. During the day, one can see the wonderful view of the mountains, but even at night, the mind and body become exhilarated by seeing the wonderful view of the Milky Way. After reaching the peak, one does not even know where the fatigue disappears.
After reaching the top of Kedarkantha, tent accommodation is arranged by the tour operator. There is no electricity or power, but people who come to visit this place carry battery operated lights with them. Along with this, the tour operators have also arranged for battery operated lights that are powered by solar panels. Due to which you get some light. Due to that light, the tent also shines with green color. I have also presented with you the photographs of the tent shining due to the light.
Even the snow on the mountain sparkles due to the faint light of the Milky Way and the battery operated lights. In the photograph above, the beautiful scenery of the mountain in the early morning has also been presented to you. I hope you will like the photographs as well. As beautiful as the scene is in the early morning, the cold is also deadly. Due to the steepness of the river, the wind blows a lot here. Due to which even cold is unbearable. So it is very important to wear material such as body thermal to avoid feeling cold. But if you have such a natural beauty, then this problem is very small.
The final photograph captures the tent and the sky glowing with lights. The problem with evening time is that due to lack of light the photographs are not good. This location is also such that Jai Laet is not easily accessible. But still, the visit to Kedarkantha was an opportunity for me. I really liked this place and will share many photographs about this place in my next post.
I hope that you will like my post and photographs.
I sincerely thank you for visiting and reading my post.
