Photography from Nepal.

Treks, festivals and the Kathmandu Valley, photographed across Nepal. Every photo has its own page. To use one, see licensing; for the treks by trail, see trek photos.

I shoot on a Sony a6700, mostly on treks and at festivals: the Langtang valley up to Kyanjin Gompa, the lakes of Panch Pokhari, the grass ridges of Sailung, Tihar and Bhai Tika at home, and the temples of the Kathmandu Valley. Each page gives the place, the region and a short description of what is in the frame, so the photo is useful even before you open it.
