  4. These photos give you a sight of Heaven. However, it is suggested for new comers to take a simple course in mountaineering , and carry the mountaineering equipment as well, before attempting this venture. Also it may be humbly requested to get a medical check up and an OK from your doctor. Jai Ganga Maiya!
