Manali, Himachal Pradesh
Rohtang Pass, at 3,978m above sea level, separates the Kullu Valley from the Lahul and Spiti valleys. Snow remains year-round on the higher elevations, and the stark landscape of grey-black mountains, white snowfields, and the crystal-clear Himalayan sky creates dramatic cinematic backdrops. Couples in bright outfits against the white/grey mountain landscape create high-contrast, striking photographs.
