Province #1
This is a view from Gokyo Ri.
Please give generously to the disaster fund.
This was one of the best views from the biggest walk of my life.
Great evening view from Chhukung Ri towards East and South. Ama Dablam (6814m) towering over the valley on the right side Far left background Makalu (8481m) and Baruntse (7129m). Solukhumbu, Nepal.
Imja Tse / Island Peak (6189m). One of the most popular "Trekking Peaks" in Nepal. With a view towards Peak 41, Mera Peak, Kangtenga, Ama Dablam and many more. Because of its location (close to Chhukung and therefore Namche and Lukla) Island Peak is relatively easy to approach compared to other mountains.
From the top of Gokyo Ri, we look down on the village of Gokyo under the prayer flags.
This is another view of Mount Everest as it towers above Gokyo. We are on our way to cross the third high pass of our trek, Renjo La (17,585 feet)....
Chukhung Ri is 17,800 feet. This is not the top, but it is the better viewpoint.
The day's end draws near and I am about to go crazy taking photos of the light on the mountains.
Gokyo sits at the edge of Third Lake. We were treated to a light dusting of snow on the previous day, leaving a beautiful white landscape on this...
The Everest-Lhotse-Nuptse massif rising above everything else. Seen from Renjo La - one of the "three passes" in the Khumbu area (~5400m), Nepal. With the 3rd Gokyo lake to the left, Makalu in the far distance and the steep Cholatse on the right side.
Sunny vista from the ridge near Kongma La - one of the three passes in Nepal's Khumbu area - towards Lobuche, Gorak Shep and Pumori on the far right side.
Looking back toward Gokyo, Mt Everest, in the center, towers above all else.
The trail at Phakding follows the Dudh Kosi River.
Ama Dablam towers behind, on the way to Kongma La.
Mike walks a the ridge, overlooking Ama Dablam.
Dingboche sits in a beautiful valley along the Imja Khola River. Ama Dablam towers above the village in the far right of the photo.
In Pangboche (3930m), the town which we can see in the inferior angle of this photo, begins the way to climb up this fabulous mountain. En Pangboche (3930m), el pueblo que podemos ver en el ángulo inferior de esta foto, comienza el camino para subir esta fabulosa montaña.
