On May 17th, after barely more than two hours of sleep, I embarked on my journey at 3:30 AM toward the base of King Peak. As dawn broke at an altitude of 5,700 meters, Pumari Chhish revealed itself in all its splendor—its majestic crown and dragon-scale-like glaciers gleaming as if to welcome me. Unlike its appearance on clear days, King Peak was shrouded in layers of clouds, lending it an ethereal, almost mystical quality.

The path leading up to 5,500 meters was far from forgiving. Once off the dirt road, the terrain became treacherous, littered with massive boulders that tested every step. The final destination allowed for a trek to a ridge line at approximately 5,600 meters—a breathtaking vantage point where the world below seemed impossibly small.

Equipped with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, I pushed the boundaries of exploration. Its robust video transmission signal enabled it to soar over 6,000 meters high and venture six kilometers away, capturing stunning footage of ice caves and crevasses etched into the mountain's icy expanse. From this angle, the backside of King Peak unfolded in rare detail, a view seldom witnessed by human eyes.

This experience has only deepened my desire to return. Next time, I plan to spend two or three days immersed in this awe-inspiring landscape. @DJI Innovation
