The Rolwaling

Hello flickr . . . wow, this makes 2 for 2012. One of the many things this year that's kept me away from the computer was an April trip to Nepal. It was quite an adventure, which perhaps I'll get into a little more over a few more posts - because it was a photographic goldmine.

 

We did not do just any standard trek either, no simple Everest Base Camp one for us. We trekked the Rolwaling Valley - a more remote area visited by very few, and with some much higher elevations (19K feet) and technical work than the base camp treks. Along the way I met this villager (though I didn't get his name) carrying firewood to the town of Beding. I think he liked getting his picture taken, because we later saw his picture in a published guide book!
