Himalayan Adventures - Photo Gallery

                        

Impressive rock formation on the way to Pisang




Tibetan prayer flags - one of my favorite things in the Himalayas




Tony takes a rest on a trail leading to the Pisang base camp




Entrance to a Tibetan Gompa (temple/monastery) in Upper Pisang




Beautiful tablets at a Tibetan memorial, another one of my favorite sights in the Himalayas




Breathtaking view




The clouds part on a cloudy morning to reveal Heaven






It doesn't get better than this




The landscape becomes desertlike as we get closer to the Pass




More Tibetan tablets. I wonder how long it takes to make one of these and carry it up




Isn't mother nature so amazing?




The moon rises behind the mountain





The Himalayas





Tilicho Lake - one of the world's highest lakes




Prayer flags hang near Tilicho Lake





High altitude trail




Trail to the pass




Prayer flags mark the highest point on Thorung La Pass at 5416m (17,600ft)




Me, on a ridge after reaching the pass




Clouds move in quickly




View of the Annapurna mountain range from Pokhara




Relaxing hike by the river
