Links to Yangdu's trip to Nepal

Great idea thank you, Ted
 
Your part of the Himalayas is quite green. I have only been to the western part of the Himalaya Range also known as the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan and it is NOT this green. I would love to try the Gorkha Beer.:D

Thanks for posting and educating us!!:)



The Himalaya Range or Himalayas for short is also the name of a massive mountain system that includes the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and other, lesser, ranges that extend out from the Pamir Knot.

Together, the Himalayan mountain system is the planet's highest and home to the world's highest peaks, the Eight-thousanders, which include Mount Everest and K2. To comprehend the enormous scale of this mountain range consider that Aconcagua, in the Andes, at 6,962 m, is the highest peak outside Asia, whereas the Himalayan system includes over 100 mountains exceeding 7,200 meters.[1]

The Himalayan system, which includes outlying subranges, stretches across six countries: Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Yangtze, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to some 1.3 billion people, including, most significantly, the people of Bangladesh. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of South Asia; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in both Hinduism and Buddhism.

Amazing photos all around. I've been to over a dozen different countries before. Everything from Africa to the Middle East. Most of the time I never really got to experience the country and see it peacefully (it was either training, or wartime). But these are some fantastic areas.

I love the countryside photos of the grass, homes on the hillsides, the mountains, everything. Then you have the city photos where monkeys are running around and people don't even seem to notice. To most people that's unreal. It's like squirrels here... they're always around us and we don't seem to be bothered by them. Only difference is the little monkeys can interact with you a lot more. I saw that on my travels too.

But great photos and what looks like a lot of great memories. Lots of time well spent among friends and family. Nice of the staff to share those with us.
 
Thanks, Ted, I always love looking at those threads.

I love mountains, so, as you can imagine, Nepal is a very beautiful place to me.
 
Its cold and dreary out here, so picture drooling inside an apt will have to do. Nepal and Thailand are on the list to visit... :D

Thanks for the cool pics.
