nice photo man, cant wait to see more, would be such a great trip!

 

Right now, you don't understand how much I am hating all your landscape/travel photography. I'm just so jealous of you all! I can't wait to get out of Perth. The countdown is on!!!

Great photo mate! Can't wait to see the final results.

 

Oh wow!

Can't wait to see some more of the photos from Everest!

 

Welcome back, I demand candid photos of the crazy smiley locals who have the strength and stamina of oxen

 

How about this local......an older monk from a temple in Kathmandu



Cheers

for the first pic, i'd like to see something in the photo that gives us an idea of the size of the mountain. maybe a lone person or something similar...

 

Like this ?



Cheers

^Damn Everist looks so surreal, it actually looks like you've photochoppd it in due to the size/atmosphere differences. Definitely nice to have the comparison by using foreground though. And the monk looks aaancient in number 2.

 

Its not Everest , ive still got to tag my photos yet but thats a much smaller mountain, ill update it once ive worked them all out

Cheers

yep that looks heaps better now that we have a sense of scale.

 

i hope you've removed the excess moisture in your gear!

can't wait for your other shots

 

This is Namche Bazar.........its the biggest villiage between Lukla and Everest and is at about 3400 m above sea level



Cheers

Sorry mate how long was your trek again? How many days? Pics are looking good so far!

 

well done zzap.. very envious !! hoping to take the +1 with me sometime soon.....

 

none of the photos so far are everest.

please post lots of pics. i am doing a climb near base camp next year.

 

I did the EBC trek last year, its 18 days trekking for those of you who were asking. Im waiting to go back, such an awesome part of the world, you have some great photos there mate, cant wait to see the rest of the collection.

im trying to work out which peaks you've photographed, namche is damn green, was looking quite yellow (almost aussie) while i was there.

and guys trying to get a sense of scale is pointless, looking back at my photos i get no sense of what its like:

eg:


Everest (the black mountain on the left is 9km away as the crow flies, 3km vertically higher that the vantage point of this photo, and the mountain on the right is 1km lower than Everest.

 

Who did you guys tour with? any operator recommendations?

amazing photo's guys...

 

Amazing.
I was in Nepal last year (amongst many other places), beautiful place.
I didnt have time to get fully into the trekking but i cant wait to go back and hit EBC...
I was there about week before that plane to Lukla went down, i took the scenic flight from the same airport with the same airline in the same type of plane...
Wont stop me from going back though....

 

If you get a chance i fully recomend EBC, one of the best experiences of my life, even though i came down with altitude sickness at 5000m (lobuche for those that know).

I flew into lukla with Yeti Airlines into Lukla in a Twin Otter (same type of plane, airline etc) but would quite happily repeat, freak accident i say.

I went with Peregrine travel, excellent sherpas, really good experience recommend 100%.
