Milky Way over Samdo village gate

This gorgeous Himalayan nocturnal scenery was possible to enjoy near the entrance to Samdo village during the Manaslu trek. The bright object just on the left edge of the image is Jupiter and the faint glow left from the gate stretching in the direction to the Jupiter is the zodiacal light.
