Awesome TR.

How difficult was the altitude adjustment? I have spent just a short time in thin air and was amazed at how much difference there was.

I would think being awakened by trying to catch your breath would be a bit scary...

I am very jealous (though I don't think i'd cope with the altitude very well). Stunnig pictures as always and it looks like you had a great time.

Amazing report...I really want to go back to Nepal now! I spent a few days there a few years ago, but never got out ot Kathmandu. I love the photo of the mountains at night with the tents in the foreground. Lovely!

How much was the tour, and was it very hard walking? Was it easy to organise>

Outstanding pictures - thanks so much. The faces, in particular, really give a sense for the place. (And good job lopping a few numbers of your passport - someone getting that information could turn into a big hassle!).

DanielW - thank-you so much for sharing this trip with us. The photos were amazing, especially the portrait shots as they really showed the heart and soul of such a amazing and unique part of the world which sadly most of us will never get to see.

Thanks for another great trip report with beautiful photos! So much nicer than another first class & fancy hotel orgy. You clearly know how to make the most of life.
