And a few more photos -
The stupa at Bodhnath (Boudha) in Kathmandu, one of the world's largest. It is believed that the first stupa built on the site was built around 600AD.
Lukla airport. Someone described landing at Lukla as 'thrilling'. They weren't kidding.
At Everest Base Camp
The view from my tent after an afternoon snow fall at Monjo (el.2835m)
The view from the tent the next morning after the weather cleared..
The Gokyo valley from Gokyo Ri (el. 5360m)
Chomolungma - Everest - from Gokyo Ri (el. 5360m)
Cho Oyo (the 8th highest mountain in the world) looking down over the Ngozumpa glacier.
On the Cho La pass (el.5420m), looking down the valley to Ama Dadlam. Our next campsite is the orange dot in the centre of the valley.
Another view from the tent, this time at Dzongla (el.4830).
And yes Tess, I have plans to get a little higher than Base Camp :-)
