Nepal, September 2001 - November 2001
Opps, somebody forgot to spin the prayer wheels
Nepal is remakably progressive
Treking the Annapurna circuit
Yak train. A Yak is a mini cow with a feather duster tail. Can't survive below 10,000 feet.
I always liked a nice ass
Most of the donkeys had saddle sores, this was the worst I saw.
Yep, it's a mountain. Nepal has plenty
Kids just love tourists with strange gifts
Little village clinging to the side of a hill
Ponys
Toilet with a view
Lady of the house. Her son kept jumping in the fire, each time he saw me. Scary white man
Sand wandering through the fields
Took a wrong turn, yes it really was this steep, and made a good bar story
Budist prayer wheels, housed in little huts and kept spining by the water
Roadside coffee shop on the way to Tilicho lake. The staff were a bit shy
Me n Sand trying not to slip off the mountain. (I'm not kidding)
Lake Tilicho, at 5000 meters, a bit chilly
The lake is fed by a glacier, which creaks and groans, and falls down in avalanches. Scary when your standing on it.
Land slide making the going a bit tough
Tilicho moutain, land slide in fore groud. Hundreds are killed by slides every year
Man on a mission
Virgina, the canadian doctor / mountain climber. Township of Manang, 6-7 days walk to nearest road
A happy fella
Path to Throng la pass. 600 tourists a day stagger over it, during peak season
Yep, we did it. 5416 meters. Sand in her designer brand name Jacket, me wearing the cheepest thing avalible in Tokyo.
View towards muktinath.
Beating millit
Walking hay stack
My pack was 15 kg, half the weight a porter carries but still too much for this little fella
Mule train
This photo cost me 2 ruppe. Her weather beaten toothless mother also ofered her services
Stef me and Sand on poon hill
Poon hill is the best view of the trip
Poon hill is also a passing point for planes on their way to Johmson
DUCK!!!
Kathmandu and surrounds
Gurus. This photo cost me 10 rupee
Bactupur fire truck which still sees service
Millit
Another moving hay stack
Bactupur Square
Street dancing
Frank Sand Stef Charlie
Kathmandu airport. Wasn't long after 9-11 so took photo while security turned their back
Mt Everest. It's the tallest one, in case you were wondering
Rafting down the Sun Kosi, 8 days
We were the tourist attaction. This boy and 100's like him would sit and watch us for hours
Laura looking a bit grumpy
Tristran is a bit happier
But the locals are always cheerfull (except when naked)
