Whew! That was quick and superb editing. Inspired me to spend the last few hours trying to match it using the Silkypix utility that came with the Pentax K-30.
I mostly used curves to draw out some details, and increased dynamic range to reduce lens flare.
While taking the photo, I struggled to shield the lens from the glare but mostly succeed when I turned the camera completely away. I will post some more photos later.
Would an umbrella or a hat have helped?
Unfortunately I didn't use RAW, believing that it is handy if you mess up the white balance.
Anyway, for whatever it's worth, here is the result of my post processing.
I lost the plot completely trying to keep the sky color close to the original!
The road to honing by photography skills, it turns out, is going to be a lot rougher than the road to Shungatsker lake in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh, but I ain't relenting.
Thanks for the hand hloding!

As stated above the shadow side of the mountain is lacking any detail. With the fisheye lens it takes in so much that the sun and flare is often a factor. Shielding the lens is difficult with such a wide angle of view. I did a quick edit to smooth out the sky and try to get some detail in the shadow side of the mountain but it falls apart quickly on a low resolution jpeg. Posted it here
