Photos From The Himalaya

Over the past few weeks, since getting back home from Nepal, I have slowly begun to get back to my routine and work through a backlog of work, writing, and so on. Anyone who has ever gone on a long trip like that one can probably relate, as the jet lag alone makes it challenging to get back to normal life.

Fortunately, I'm mostly recovered, and working my way through my "to do list" of things I need to accomplish, which included getting some photos online from the trip. I have created a web gallery of some of the shots I took while traveling in Nepal, and I thought that some of you might be interested in seeing them. The gallery can be found by clicking here.

Personally, I have to say that I'm not entirely happy with how the photos came out. There are a few that I actually like, but for the most part, I think I failed at capturing the beauty and the splendor of the place. Perhaps I feel this way because the scenery is so amazing that it is difficult to actually capture it properly on film. Still, these photos will give you an idea of what it is like in the Khumbu Valley, and what you can expect if you ever decide to go there yourself. It is a spectacular hike, and of course I highly recommend it.

As for stories about the trek, they are coming soon. I've been collecting my thoughts and generating an outline of what I'd like to post about, so no worries. I'll be sharing elements of the trek with everyone in the very near future. In the meantime, if you have questions about what it is like, feel free to drop me a note. I'm happy to answer anything you'd like to know. I can be reached at kungfujedi@gmail.com.

I hope you enjoy the photos!
