Amazing TR, fabulous pictures. thanks for sharing

Simply amazing. Take a bow sir. Both for the pictures and your willingness to explore remoteness with aplomb.

Wonderful report and pictures DanielW.

I think I could get used to waking up to a view of Kongde Ri peak each morning. :)

Ditto to all the amazing/awesome/stunning comments - what a great report and outstanding photography

Brilliant ^

Thank you for sharing

The guy who I am talking to about doing EBC in July has not said anything about the monsoon being a big deal. I will just have to press him harder next time we talk.

Stunning pictures! Love love love the way you captured the people. Thank you so much for sharing. This is definitely high on my to go list.

Finally a proper trip report!!! A report about a trip! Less focus on food, more about what you see and do! Not eat. Awesome read, brilliant photos. Easily my favorite report so far.

Lovely report, thanks for taking the time to write it

Wow!
A great TR and a amazing adventure.

I can't add anything new to the (well-deserved) rapturous chorus, but felt I had to chime in anyway to say thanks for such a great photo report. It really inspires quite an urgent need to get out to that part of the world :)

Cheers, enellai:). I know 'experience of a lifetime' is an over used term, but this trip was definitely well qualified for it:)

Many thanks, deovrat:). Had to pinch myself when we landed in Lukla, when I was only in the hot concrete jungle of Dubai 12 hours earlier:D.

Thank you, Moomba, yes, was amazing to see a 6,000m+ peak just outside my window:)!

Thanks, lb8001:). Has been a while since I got out into the wilderness so was great to photograph something totally different for a change.

Cheers, Wickersley:).

It's probably doable, just have to be ready for it I guess. This is from my trip notes:

"Travel in rural areas during Monsoon Season (June - September) can be hazardous, with rains causing flooding and landslides that can cut off regions for days at a time. Travellers need to be prepared for all weather conditions and changes in planned itineraries if necessary."

Thanks you, exc3ll, somewhere in this top 5 on your list is recommended:).

Many thanks, ghostchips:). Yes, not much inside the Flydubai cabins is very photogenic, hence lots of pics everywhere else:D.

Thanks, stickyfingers85:)

Cheers, jason8612:).

Many thanks, mad_atta:). I must admit I was a bit blasé before, but had a big grin on my face when I boarded the flight back home, an amazing experience:)!

Not sure how far away that was from your trek.

Holy s**t, that's exactly where we'll be in two weeks. :eek:

Really? Damn!

The Polish guys that died apparently were from Krakow.
Not sure on the other nationalities.
