I am once again falling back on my Everest Base Camp Trek pictures for the Skywatch. This was a little later after sunrise. The sun became strong within no time! In the region the sun rises over all the lofty mountains like the Everest, Ama Dablam, Nuptse etc. And in the evening when the light…

High Rise!
Even though I did see a rainbow this week I didn’t had the patience to hold it for the skywatch. So for the Sky Watch I once again fall back on the Everest Base Camp pictures from Nepal. And I am already getting very restless for the next trip which unfortunately I have not planned….
The Monastery at Tengboche, Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal
Tengboche is a small village on the Everest Base Camp Route in Nepal and the place is magical. It has a beautiful monastery and trekkers can be a part of the prayer service! I am yearning for such places again. This was an early early morning shot at Tengboche. The monastery at Tengboche is awe…

Everest Base Camp Trek- Day 5, Tengboche to Dingboche, Day 6, Rest and Acclimatization at Dingboche

Everest Base Camp Trek- Day 4, Namche Bazaar to Tengboche
For me this was one of the toughest day of trek. Of course the last day of climb was even more strenuous but Namche Bazaar (3440 meters, 11286 feet) to Tengboche (3870 meters, 12696 feet) was also quite killing. I hope I am not giving the impression that this is an incredibly difficult trek. What I write…
