My understanding of Nepal after this thread is a beautiful country with clear blue skyes. Far from the truth?

Another awesome photo. Thanks for posting.


My understanding after this thread is for a lot of people, having a talented pilot like VF around is a godsend

Amazing
Incredible pictures VF! And incredible flying as well!
I did a fair bit of flying in the Hindu Kush and your pictures made me remember how beautiful the top of the world is.

Many safe landings!

Thumbs up
Dear VF

Must be getting pretty busy there with the start of the trekking season and the influx of the tourists.

Stay safe out there and keep the pictures coming

Happy Dashain

VF

Hope these aren't too gruesome questions for this forum but
I was talking to a couple of people who have been on Everest
and the mention of the number of injuries / body's up there.

Who pays for these current rescues / body recoveries ?

Who pays if a body is brought down of a person who died a long time ago
5 + 40 years ago ?

In that situation would it be walked / carried down ?
