    In 2022, DJI was able to fly one of their drones over Mt. Everest.

    Here's the video recorded by the drone around the highest point on Earth!
    youtu.be/Zz9oI3B6v4c

    In 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.

    ‘Ticking time bombs’: Sikkim floods a reminder of why locals opposed dams in the Himalayas for years

    The damage caused by the glacial lake outburst flood was compounded by the presence of a string of dams in the Teesta river basin in the Himalayan state.

    It has 24 spokes representing the 24 Rishis of #Himalayas. It also represents Time (24 hours of the day) to signify that #India is constantly changing & marching ahead.

    This 2nd century #Budhism Dharam Chakra comes from Amaravati in #AndharaPradesh & was on a Christies sale.
