Alan Plisskin - Photographs from Nepal

Nepal Fine Art Photography Gallery

Nepal is an awe-inspiring country. Kathmandu, its capitol, is a bustling city whose history goes back thousands of years. Located on ancient Asian trade routes, the influence of multiple cultures over the millennia is evident everywhere.

Kathmandu also serves as the gateway to the Himalayan Mountains and Mount Everest. A trek to see Mt. Everest is an experience that shouldn’t be missed by any hiking or backpacking enthusiast. It’s quite a hike through the mountains, but with sherpas carrying most of load, it’s not particularly arduous. Seeing Mt. Everest in person is incomparably awe-inspiring and worth every step.

The Nepalese people are friendly and sincere. Along our route in the villages of Namche Bazaar, Kumjung and Thyangboche (Tengboche) they went out of their way to accommodate our every need.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to how far I could travel into the Himalayans. But I intend to return to Nepal with the goal of visiting Everest Base Camp and seeing the view of Mt. Everest from Kala Pathar, a nearby 18,000 foot peak.
