Early morning view from my tent, looking towards the peaks of Taboche and Tobuche, after an overnight snow shower at our camp in Lobuche alongside the #Khumbu glacier, en-route to #Everest base camp in #Nepal.

A porter carries a heavy load over a glacier covered in moraine (rock pulverised by the movement of the glacier). Skies are deep blue and cloud gathers around the mountain peaks towering overhead. The peak to the right is Pumori, one of the 8,000m summits.

A mountain peak stands out in front of a near-cloudless sky. Many ridges, flutings and crenelations can be seen in the snow. I was to venture around the righthand flank of this behemoth a few days later to drop from the Gokyo valley into the Everest valley.

A wooden footbridge crossing a river in Nepal, used to convey both trekkers, locals, and animal traffic on the march to and from the base camp for Mount Everest. On the far side a steep and winding climb proceeds to the village of Namche Bazaar. The bridge rails on either side host countless prayer flags added over time by passersby’s.

Buddhist prayer flags, #pieces of (usually) square fabric adorned with images and texts fluttering in the wind on a bridge crossed on the approach to Namche Bazaar in the #Khumbu region, as you trek to #Everest base camp.

“Barren Beauty” - 📸 November 17, 2018

In order to get to #EverestBaseCamp, we had to cross the #Khumbu glacier at 17,600 ft. I distinctly remember the sounds of moving ice, crunching #snow under our feet, and #avalanches in the distance. I captured this photo as we descended onto the #glacier. #EBC

Finding Clean Water Near Mount Everest Might Be Harder Than Summiting It As tourism and regional pollution contaminate Nepal’s Khumbu Valley, researchers are zapping the ground to find new potable water sources.

At the top of the world, people are struggling to access clean drinking water. Read my piece for @thexylom.com

Mount Everest with its customary cloud plume streaming off the summit. The photo was taken in the morning so the cloud and the satellite peak are catching the sun. Skies are blue.

A colour photograph. There are colourful Buddhist prayer flags in the foreground and some snow-capped mountains including Mount Everest. – The classic view of Mount Everest (Chomolungma / Sagarmatha) from the top of Kala Patthar (5645m). The Khumbu Glacier with it famous Icefall is seen below and its bend is the place where tents of the Base Camp are set during the spring season. It is Changtse on the left, above Lho La which marks the border with Tibet. Autumn trekking season. Solukhumbum, Everest Base Camp Trek, Everest Region, Nepal.

A huge mountain covered in snow and ice towers over the surrounding landscape. The valleys are all the muted brown colour that's prevalent at moderate to high altitudes in the Himalaya.

The mighty #AmaDablam as seen from the trail to #Gokyo

In my opinion, a more impressive #mountain than Everest, although its #summit is around 2,000m lower.

Taken in October 2011.

The Everest group and surrounding mountains, shot in black and white.

The roof of the world.

Taken in #Nepal in 2011 on an #EOS550D and borrowed lens which was a little soft at the edges.

Even from this elevation, at around 5000m, the summit of #Everest is still over two vertical miles above us.

10 years ago my wife and I went on the single best trek of our lives: the 20-day "Three Pass" trek through the #Khumbu in #Nepal. Most powerful mountains on the planet + fascinating Sherpa culture. I wrote a trip report about it here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/khum...
