The Himalayas has been known for its vast ranges, highest peaks and the roughest weathers with the coldest breeze but above it is the beauty of this mountain that keeps it segregated from the rest. The setting sun turns the mountain into gold. Sandakhphu West Bengal, India

The Himalaya is also known as the wall as it blocks the cold winds from the North and keeps the clouds on its other side providing a great climate and a diverse ecological habitat. The photo shows how the high ranges of the Himalayas don’t allow the clouds to pass. Sandakhphu, West Bengal, India

It is really very tough to live in this extreme weather, but as the going gets tough the tough gets going. People who live here go through extreme climatic situations that one can only imagine. The only source of fuel is timber which is collected from the woods and stored in order to cook and keep them warm. The people living here have been immune to this extreme weather and can easily work without gloves which for a common man would be next to impossible. Sandakhphu West Bengal India
