Amazing experience it would have been, I witnessed only once a smaller version of such phenomena during trekking @13000 ft beyond Himachal and cannot forget that experience when we got totally engulfed within. I used to say"SOMEBODY's CLOUD, SOMEBODIES FOG' Natures Drama is unfolding every moment only wanderers can witness."

"This is a known phenomenon. Normally happens after 12PM in the months of Aug-Nov, when there is increase in temp and clouds precipitate suddenly. Most Indian Army and IAF personnel serving in Nubra/Shyok/Drass valleys, Siachen Glacier & SSN (Near Galwan), Sikkim would regularly see this," the second user commented.

The third user expressed, "Truly incredible!!"
