🥇 FROM "EL MARQUERO" HILLS - In Montalbán, Carabobo St., Venezuela || ENG-ESP || (21 Pics) by @jlinaresp

The northern end of the valley of Montalbán, is marked by a mountain of forests that from a distance seem almost blue and whose particular rounded shape at the top can be seen from every corner of the valley. Both the mountain itself and the hills adjacent to it are called “El Marquero” and can be reached by leaving the town of Montalbán and following a dirt road with a distance of about 4 kilometers until you start the ascent through the hills... This publication contains photographs that I took on my last bike ride of 2024 during the morning of December 30, towards this “photographically charming” place...

🥈 First day of 2025 well spent in a small Himalayan Village of Garh, Himachal Pradesh. by @parvkhuller

Today was the first day of the New Year and I wanted to make it really chilled out so I along with my cousin and my brother decided to stroll around in our village and visit the watchtower that was situated at the bottom end of the village. It was a go to place and we used to go there every once in a while when we were kids. The mountains were still full of snow and the views were just mesmerising as you can see. It was a sunny day today with occasional clouds in between the sun was warming up the weather for us, and we really loved the sunshine in our faces.

🥉 Watching The Sunrise Through Taman Langit, Pengalengan, West Java by @viviehardika

Taman Langit is located in Pengalengan, West Java. This is one of popular place to watch the sunrise in Pengalengan. Everyone comes here to enjoy the natural phenomenon of the sunrise. If it is a national holiday, this place might be filled with people who have the same goal. However, because I came on a weekday, the only ones who saw the sunrise at that time were me and two of my friends. Although both are in Pengalengan, Taman Langit is quite far from the Luxcamp glamping where we stayed. It's about 40 minutes to get that place by car. Because this was our first time, we had to ask several times to local residents who happened to be passing by in the morning. That's why we were late to see the sunrise.
