1. Arpit Mehta – Buran Ghati Trek
We chose this picture for its beautiful composition – from the foreground until the background. Further, there is a nice play of light, almost layering all the sheep.

2. Puneet Garg – Sandakphu Phalut Trek
It is so rare to capture a picture of a Red Panda from such close quarterst! Kudos to Puneet for being able to do so! And for capturing so beautifully the morning light on Mt Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Makalu peaks.

3. Rakesh Khot – Pin Bhaba Pass Trek
We loved how this picture was framed. A clean division of the frame in whites and greens. Further, the lone trekker puts into perspective the vastness of the pass.

4. Kartik Maheshwari – Rupin Pass Trek
This photograph follows the rule of thirds. It is superbly shot. It has a subject, and another element – the waterfall. This photograph has a story to tell.
