The journey, day by day
In my own words, from my notes. Tap a 📍 place to fly the 3D map there, or any photo to open it full-screen with its EXIF.
The crew: Anjul, Nitin, Zatin, Deepak and me. Photos from my Sony A7 III, iPhone and DJI Mini 3 Pro, plus Nitin’s shots from the shared album.
The mountains
The 3D map uses real elevation data, so you can stand where we stood and look at the same ridgelines. Each button puts the camera at a viewpoint and points it at the peak.
Identifying the Kinner Kailash range. I used this labelled panorama from Kalpa (by @mountain_daughter_baljeet) to name what we saw around Reckong Peo. From left to right it labels Kinnaur Kailash 4,740 m, Kinnaur Kailash Peak 6,050 m, Jorkanden 6,473 m, Pt 6050 and Raldang 5,267 m. Peak positions come from OpenStreetMap.
Behind the lens
Taken straight from the EXIF of every file in the two albums.
Photos by camera
Videos are excluded, since the downloaded copies keep no camera tag.
Photos and videos by day
The trip day runs to 4 AM, so midnight shoots count with the evening before.
When we shot (hour of day)
■ exposures of 2 s or longer, mostly stars. ■ everything else.
Every photo and video
All of it, resized for the web. Originals stay in the All Photos and Edited Photos albums. Filters also apply to the map.
