The mountains of the Himalaya




Beyond the temples and bustle of the towns of the Kathmandu Valley rise the mountains of the Nepal Himalaya - the 'abode of snows'. These photos were taken in the Khumbu area of the Himalaya, in the shadow of Mount Everest. This harsh but spectacular region is the home of the Sherpas, and an area of deep cultural and religious traditions.
