Our friends at Teton Gravity Research have released a magnificent video that gives us a glimpse of the Himalaya as we’ve never seen them before. Shot over Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam, the short clip takes us to 20,000 feet (6096 meters) to shoot the stunning mountain landscapes of Nepal using specialized equipment that provides the most stable and crystal clear images of the mountains yet. The journey begins in Kathmandu at 4600 feet (1402 meters) and eventually lead up to as high as 24,000 feet (7315 meters). Along the way, we are treated to quite the views. Enjoy!
