Inspiring as always my friend. Do you find that the topography makes you feel kind of insignificant when you're up close? It must be fantastic looking up to Everest from the foothills.

Good on ya mate. I will get there in my lifetime. (Really, like to work there but)

Hey VF,

Awesome photography mate, would you mind mentioning what we're looking at like the suspension bridge over the river where is that?. Heading over there next month. So looking forward to it.

Keep up the great work

That's what happens when you fly at such high altitudes.... blades need to fling around for best efficiency.........:

Looks like the helicopter market is picking up in Nepal. Shree Airlines used to operate exclusively MI-17 but they recently got a B3e.

They also have ordered few AS350 and some EC 130 EC 130 have never flown in Nepal before

Nepal?s Shree Airlines orders eight light Eurocopter helicopters - Eurocopter, an EADS company

That's a BIG order for a Nepali company!

What's your take on this?
