Fantastico! As always. :ok:

Yes, I understand what you mean. However, as a lover of horses (and in their majestic defence ;)) I must argue with this description in that, while the creatures are equally lovable .. they are, I am sure, most likely to be some form of Himalayan pony; perhaps the Spiti or Bhutia - maybe one day you can enquire?

Dare one ask what the wee girl has in her bowl?

All best wishes.

Vertical Freedom....THANKS!! Your thread made my day...used to climb in Alaska...and I love seeing the stunning area you fly in!! Just wanted to echo my thanks alongside all the others....
Blue skies....--)):)

Namaste and Good evening VF...( well it is here in Lancashire)

Good vision tonight we can see all the way to Orion the Plough , not to mention the seven Sisters and the Great Bear,... but your views just keep comming what a place to work, no wonder you always have a smile a mile wide on your face. Thank you also for the pictures of the local Nepalese doing there everyday stuff, they all look so happy and smiling

By the way keep an eye out for any Europeans who are new in your area, you've let the cat out of the bag by showing pictures of Horses, they will all know now of a new supply!

Fly safe and land safer.
Many regards

V-F,great pictures of life in the mountains,but you must not try to pinch little girls lunch....!!
Years ago when I used to fly Goorkha troops,pilots were known as `punkah-wallah sahibs`...
I`ve been up to 20k in a Gazelle a couple of times for testing,so go carefully....Syc..:D

Hi V-F :)

Always great pictures; was almost in your neighborhood last week (Delhi/Chandigarh) visiting some new friends.

Maybe they'll come and play with you one day, with their 429 :8

Hey Savoia; don't know the horse breed, but will ask. In the bowl is 'packet noodle soup rara' it is basically junk food pumped full of MSG :mad:

Hey Encyclo; WoW pick me, pick me, would love a gig driving a big bus like that :ok:

Land Happy always & never lose speed till over the pad :E

Brilliant photo, depth of field tops . Those hills are huge mountains . Tailrotor makes it interesting. .

That's what happens when you put a Southern Hemisphere Tail Rotor on a Northern Hemisphere ship! :E
