Amphulapcha Vista

avatar

It takes a few weeks to hike to the top of the glacial moraine locking in Imja Tsho. The lake is perched on top of the glacier at 5010m. The twin peaks of the Amphulapcha's dominate in the background at 6202m and 6118m (20,348 and 20,072 ft). Nepalese Himalaya, Nepal.

I took this shot on Fuji Velvia slide film. What is the longest you have been on a trek for ? We spent over 30 days hiking on this expedition in Nepal.

Mere hours. So I guess that's just a walk/hike rather than a trek XD can still see cool things on hike but I guess you have to put in the hard yards to get to the really cool places :)

Is that you up on the hill?

Yeah Nepal is beautiful. I have a aunt who lives there and this year I was planning to visit Nepal but unfortunately this Corona thing happened. Hope I can climb on the trek too even though I don't have that type of stamina. It looks beautiful.

Wow! That's a long trek, at least in comparison to what I've done, which truth be told was only 3 days.

It is just an amazing place and yet so dangerous as well @intrepidphotos because of the rocky cliffs, cold, and no vegetation. :)

Amazing view 😍 Bulgarians are saying that “A beautiful view comes after a hard climb”! Cheers 🍻
