Boudhanath Stupa, Monkey Temple (Swayambhunath), Kathmandu
An everyday scene in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal
Jiri (Gateway to Mt. Everest) on the way to Sagarmatha National Park
On foot only from here on
You eat with your fingers
The time stops
A journey into a never before experinced dimension begins
All the food and building materials reach the heights
The path through the villages seems like a fairy-tale
Terribly dirty, but with sparkles in their eyes that you can't see at home
Terraced cultivable land, spared by the monsoon abrasion
One of the many passes on the "up and down trek" - Trakshindo La, at 3071 m a.s.l.
Abundance of jewelry and native piercing, used in these remote villages since the 16th century
Prayers in the stony relief - Hinduism is considered the oldest living major religious tradition
So far, yet so close
Namche Bazaar (Gateway to the high Himalayas)
with an airport,
Yak
High-altitude village Tengboche with the well-known Buddhist monastery, at 3867 m a.s.l.
The view of six, seven and eight thousand meters high mountains,
The Beauty among the mountains - Ama Dablam, 6812 m a.s.l.
Wooden and creaking suspension bridges with missing boards aren't very trustworthy
Ama Dablam Summit
Almost unnecessary - a commercial for the highest inn in the world - Gorak Shep,
Nuptse - 7861 m a.s.l.
A view of the giants from Kala Pattar (5545 m a.s.l.), the final destination of the trek -
