Who all have been to Gurudongmar lake let me know in comments? 🙌 😎

[@RajanSekhri]

Yes I have been last year in June...it was an awesome experience 🤩🤟

[@AcousticTraveller1]

👋

[@bhaskardot]

I noticed you are trying to keep the colour grading as natural as possible in this series. But the gradient around this holy lake felt a bit off probably because we were seeing it through your sunglasses(kinda sepia) which you unconsciously replicated while editing.
just a theory 😬. Anyways, lots of love and warm regards. 🍁

Is way to gurudongmar lake open in 1st week of march?

[@theraghavs]

I was there in 2013 Nov. The lake was almost frozen. We were breathless and few ITBP guys were running on the lake as if they dont breath oxygen..
This place is just mesmerizing, a different worldm the whole sikkim is so beautiful..

Going by tourist vehicle is one thing but riding to this lake on a bike is something else altogether. It snowed the night before which made the terrain look even more mesmerising. It was the best bike ride of my life.

[@HoppingBug]

[@wadewilson1913]

Is there any permits required for Bikes at checkposts? I was checking their website and it mentioned something about PAP.

[@milokasafar6]

It was my dream to visit Sikkim and finally after 10 years i was able to go there in November 2022, and I've seen this lack and believe me i couldn't stand there more than 2 minutes because I was already out of energy because I puke at the last checkpost because of high altitude... seeing the lack infront of me from inside the car i was like this is the first time and could be last too so i gather myself and went out and the wind was so strong that i stepped three step back without my will.....the lack, indo china border, gangtok, zero point, yumthang valley and we visited many more places, and the lack was my favourite one ❤️

I just want to know that , did u guys take permission to fly drone in the China borders? Or anywhere in North Sikkim? Please help me by answering this question...

[@HoppingBug]

Thank you 😊. I had permissions from the army.

[@jigshow2273]

As i said earlier this episode b-roll and drone footage was greatly beautiful.
Like it's a army control area near gurudongmar so you have take a permission to fly drone or its okay like we can take risk and fly or its a paid footage.
Like what is the process let me know if you can ✌️
Peace ✌️☮️

[@krishnakrishna-bk2lu]

I think the drone shots are not clear as they were previously, I think mini 3 pro is not as good as air 2s or Mavic 2 pro which u used before. The clarity is missing even when watched in 4k

[@HoppingBug]

Actually there are a few shot in the beginning which are shot at a very bad light. Its not specifically the drone camera but the light. Early morning in the mountains near lachen, casts very dark shadows while the sky is blasting light. So you have to use ND filter but because of ND, dark become extremely dark and hence the quality got spoiled
