Kangchenjunga 2009
Kangchenjunga, straddling Nepal’s far eastern border with the Indian state of Sikkim, is the planet’s third-highest peak. Although visible from Darjeeling – and therefore in the days of the British Raj a much better-known peak – it is relatively remote. From the Nepalese roadhead of Taplejung to Kangchenjunga North Base Camp and back would take at least two weeks. A more circuitous and leisurely trek, such as I recently took with the fine people from Project Himalaya, takes closer to three weeks.
Here are some holiday snaps from that trip. Words to follow.
Stunning.
These pictures leave you amazed . Their clarity and content are second to none. Both the road and the beehive leave you feeling that you are glad not to have been there , but the colours and feeling of the atmosphere, makes you envy the people who were priveliged to have been there. I have seen the pictures several times now and it leaves me wondering how tribes survive so well away from civilization, ( although they are no doubt much happier for the lack of it.)
Good camera work !!
Wow…. I mean wow…. I am from India. Maybe I should make a trip up north.
Awesome camera work and there’s a sense of amazing calm. Its like you are in a different world.
