WE RECENTLY brought you an aerial tour of the ancient Egyptian pyramids at Giza, courtesy of the AirPano.com photography team which travels the world taking high-definition panoramic shots of famous sites and locations.
During their trip to the Himalayas, the photographers captured incredible images of sharp snowy peaks, mountain villages and monasteries.
