Weather and moods from my time whole time in Nepal. Just a brief overview.
A Monkey at the monkey temple in Kathmandu
A very ironic photo!
Nice flower
Cute puppy
Once we left the city the Rhododendron forests were amazing
Dog on a wall
Pretty flowers on a tree
Nick crossing one of the many bridges
An improbable tree
More of the lovely forest flowers
Beautiful stream
Such a stunning wee spot
Blossom and prayer flags
Finally, we reached the entry to Sagarmatha National Park
Porter loads vs independent hiker loads
First view of the mountains as the mist lifted a little bit
First acclimatisation day, hadn't seen anything from Namche Bazar so we climbed up to 4000m and caught this very brief view through the cloud
Himalayan Griffon on the wing - beautiful and majestic and so big!
More peeks of the mountains
Gathering nesting material - it's that time of year
Another rhododendron
Another moody mountain
Which one is smarter the crow or the kea?
Meeting the locals
Beautiful
Loving the rock textures on the mountain!
Ama Dablam and Base Camp
Ama Dablam
I didn't see snow leopards or Tahr, but I did see this bird.
View back down the valley I had just come up, once the fog finally cleared.
One of the many tea houses I stayed in along the way
Last light on Ama Dablam - beautiful mountain
Snowy ridges!
Finally starting to come right at altitude on Chikung Ri, right before the first pass
Cute wee plant
Looking back at the valley I had struggled so much in
Miranda, me, and Emily. I met these two wonderful women as I struggled up the first valley and we ended up crossing all three passes together.
A yak!
Everest Base Camp
Yes I did queue up for quite a while to get a photo on this rock
Glacier textures
Setting out for our second pass! It ended up snowing a lot that day.
Rock textures
Such moody landscapes!
Sudeep, a guide who we ended up spending a bit of time with. He and his clients were going the same way and staying at most of the same places as us
Texture on the glacier
The Moon!
More beautiful scenes
Prayer flags on the summit of Gokyo Ri
Another Yak
Last look back and Gokyo lake
Me with the prayer flags on our final pass
Miranda leads the way, heading down into our final valley of the trip, it's all downhill to much more sensible altitudes from here
Cute wee flowers
Finally back down to Rhododendron altitude
