Capturing the Himalayas: the Art of Hiking with Professional Camera Gear
August 30, 2010 | 28 Comments
The word Himalaya cames from Sanskrit language and it means “Abode of snow”. It’s a name of breathless beauty in every sense of the word. However, going over there and capturing its beauty with professional equipment requires experience, planning, and timing.
August is the month when one can be in Himalaya region and start organizing. The popular Leh to Manali road is usually open at this time. One could start from Ladakh, India, which is located in the western Himalaya. There you can experience the vast Tibetan plateau and explore this “Little Tibet” and then move to Nepal. One can watch wildlife in Langtang and finally finish with the relaxing, stunning mountain views and classic tea house trekking in the world’s deepest valley in the Annapurna region, by the end of October.

Love the magazine (read PDF download). Article was informative and interesting and the photos are breathtaking.
very beautiful magazine and excellent article. How weight balances makes all the difference. And truly, if you suffer from dragging stuff about, your entire focus is on your personal agony and you lose focus on the beauty around you.
Good site and hiking is such great exercise that more people should get into it.
Acho essas fotos de museu um espetáculo a parte pois deixam um registro histórico de formatos de grandes artistas

Wonderful story. I did a very short trek in the Everest region in November, taking hundreds of shots, some interesting. Check any of the sets with Nepal in the names at Flickr.
