Goecha La, Sikkim, India

Photography

You’re most likely a city bumpkin and will find yourself going gaga over the views on day 1 itself. Unless the misfortune of bad weather befalls you, each day offers uniquely great sights, and will be colder than the last, so keep your pants on. This is all the more important if you’re the sort of traveler who doesn’t plan well and aren’t carrying enough charge or storage. Depending on the extent of your poor planning, you might run out of supplies or die midway so factor that in against your conservation efforts.

The descent has significant overlap with the ascent which provides you the option to click pictures of some of the stretches on your way back. By then you would have made your peace with being tired. You should have also become better at picking scenes which bring out the fancy quote in the foreground and cover pictures candidates which capture your vibrant, philosophical, spontaneous, tranquil personality. The selfie that goes on your DP is most likely going to be the one you take at the top so don't bother until then.
