This is a 21 photo stitched panorama from Gawula Pass (17,053 ft) in Tibet. The finished panorama is a staggering 998 megabytes. The peaks in the background are Mt. Everest, Mount Shishapama, Mount Lotse, Mount Makalu, and Mount Cho Oyu, to name just a few. The road in the foreground switchbacks 64 times to drop over 6,000 feet of vertical.
