The place resides in north-eastern part of India, spread across Nagaland and Manipur. It takes 5 hours of trekking to reach this place, and by the time you do it's already late in the evening, so no sightseeing. You rest for the night in a guesthouse at the top of the hill. As the chill of the morning wakes you up and you go out to see the first light and feel its warmth, you surprisingly get this spectacular breathtaking view. Every time I look at the picture, it reminds me of that morning, that calm atmosphere, the fresh air, the rich colours of nature, a true paradise far away from reality.

Once we got to the top of the Half Dome, I quickly found this spot and asked my wife to go to the edge of the cliff and pose there. I got a confident NO and had to switch roles. That rare case when I’m a model and my wife is a photographer. It played pretty well.
