VF, these latest pictures made me think of Wildman by Kate Bush.

The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said he saw you by the Tengboche Monastery.
You were playing in the snow. You were banging on the doors. You got up on the roof, Roof of the World.

Thumbs up A photo book ?

Namaste VF

A lot of people have advised you on this forum to come up with a photo book of your amazing pictures. It would be an excellent book without any doubt!

Heres a Nepali pilot who has come up with a similar book

The Himalayan Times : Analysing 360 degrees of Everest - Detail News : Nepal News Portal

Trekking season must be picking up now and hope to see some exciting pictures. Happy & Safe Landings!
