A beautiful video has emerged of a distant avalanche disturbing the peace of the Himalayas.

The footage, shot on Mt. Neelkhand, India last year, captures streams of snow pouring down a cliff.

"As soon as I reached a place near it I sat down to meditate, but I couldn't sit there for a minute," the filmer wrote online.

"My eyes kept on twitching and I opened my eyes then I heard a huge roaring sound."

"It was a huge avalanche right there on an altar like place on the Mt. Neelkhand," he added.
