Taken shortly after sunrise after a very early start from high camp. This is Ramdung 5930m, 19456ft in the Rolwaling area of Nepal, first climbed by the Scottish Himalayan expedition led by Bill Murray 1952. The Rolwaling valley was off-limits to all but those with climbing permit when this was taken back in late October 2007, i'm not sure if this is still the case now. I don't recall seeing more than about ten non locals during our entire time in this beautiful valley, with the wonderfully friendly and welcoming Nepalese people, our time here was made even more memorable as it coincided with the Diwali Hindu festival being celebrated all over Nepal. We had permits for the trek from Dolakha, climbing Ramdung and Parchamo 6273m, crossing the Trakarding Glacier, Drolambu icefall and the Tesi Labcha pass at 5755m where we spent two nights for the ascent of Parchamo before decending eventually to Namche Bazaar.

Bhulbhule (3365m) - PK Dairy (3640m) - Pikey Peak II & Pilates Planks (4065m) - Jase Bhanjyang (3550m).
Wonderful blue skies and multiple mountain views as we headed north towards PK Dairy and then up PK / Pikey Peak, where Steffi set the pace with Pilates planks before the descent to Jase Bhanjyang, which would later be bathed in beautiful evening light as the sun set.
PK Dairy and Jase Bhanjyang both provided opportunities to gather information about local families who might need one of Light Education Development (LED)'s solar lights, and to do some distribution and repairs.
But the mountain views won the day.
From our first stop, just outside Bhulbhule, looking east we could see: Shishapangma - Dorje Lhakpa - Chang - Ramdung - Bigphera Go Shar - Numbur - Khatang - Karyolung - Everest - Lhotse - Nuptse - Baruntse - Pethangtse - Thamserku - Kangtega - Drangnag Ri [?] (Peak 49) - Makalu - Chamlang - Mera - Naulekh - Kanchenjunga.

Thanks, as always, to Günter Seyfferth for the marvellous annotated photos and maps (plus a wealth of other details) on Die Berge des Himalaya. I'm using materials on Rolwaling Himal mit westlichem Khumbu".

Bhulbhule (3365m) - PK Dairy (3640m) - Pikey Peak II & Pilates Planks (4065m) - Jase Bhanjyang (3550m).
Wonderful blue skies and multiple mountain views as we headed north towards PK Dairy and then up PK / Pikey Peak, where Steffi set the pace with Pilates planks before the descent to Jase Bhanjyang, which would later be bathed in beautiful evening light as the sun set.
PK Dairy and Jase Bhanjyang both provided opportunities to gather information about local families who might need one of Light Education Development (LED)'s solar lights, and to do some distribution and repairs.

Pee bottles - totally necessary for -25 degrees nights at high camps! Had planned to get 1 litre bottles of water in the Rolwaling valley but it was pretty much deserted so had to resort to coke bottles and half a litre isn't enough for my bladder, hence the feat of engineering by Steve!
