Pink rhododendron flowers on a leafy shrub, with a snow-dusted peak in mist behind, at Panch Pokhari

Rhododendron blooms, Panch Pokhari

Rhododendron flowers open in front of a snow-dusted peak at Panch Pokhari.

Clusters of pink and white rhododendron flowers sit among thick, leathery leaves with brown undersides, and a bare twig reaches in from the left. Behind the shrub at Panch Pokhari, a rocky peak dusted with snow fades into low mist. The light is cool and muted.
