So Close Yet So Far

Photo Description

โ€œAue Karma T , Aue Karma T , Aue Karma T ,  dawn is breaking , get up now. We have an hourโ€™s hike to reach the viewpoint,โ€œ my mountain brother called out. Our camp was at 3850 meters and we needed to climb approximately another 400 meters.

At 4:15 am , I struggled out of my tent and before I realized it, I could see the orange rays just behind the adjacent mountains.  I could hardly sleep the whole night , excited for this morning and then here I was , half- awake , rubbing my eyes and about to miss my D- day shot. 

After an hour’s tedious uphill climb, I took a long breath and there I stood in my meditative pose when the first rays hit my face and I slowly opened my eyes with a prayer of gratitude and blessing to the mighty Mount Jumolhari who was there so close yet so far.
