From south-west: Mountain flight to Everest - an easy way to see Nepal's 8 peaks over 8'000 meter. Here are three: Everest (8'848 m) is the black pyramid on the left, just to the right is Lhotse (8'516m ), Makalu (8'485 m) is the high peak on the horizon on the right. Both peaks tower above countless smaller ones in the Khumbu region. Ama Damblam for example is just below Makalu.

Panorama with 4 peaks over 8'000 meters - Makalu; Lhotse; Everest; Cho Oyo.

During flight to Tibet, 4 of the highest peaks on earth.

From north-west: Everest rises above the flat Tibetan plateau which is itself is already 4'000 meters high.

I've never been to the Karakorums, the closest I got was seeing some huge peaks on the flight to Ladakh. I thought I would go there soon, but the timing never worked out.

Panorama of the range between Nepal and Sikkim, with Kangchenjunga as the highest summit in the long chain.

South face from Lhasiya Bhanjyang, a low pass in he middle hills in Nepal. The triangular peak in the middle is the true summit.

South face, the main summit is the pyramid on the left.

The north face is as impressive as the south side, here the morning sun hits the main peak in the background. Taken in the early morning while climbing, or rather attempting,  Tengkoma peak.

The long ridge in the middle belongs to Lhotse.

South face of Makalu, fifth-highest peak on earth.

From a pass near Kangchenjunga it's possible to see the east face of Makalu and Everest, both are 50 miles away.

The 6th highest peak reflects in a pond between Lhasa and Kathmandu. Usually expeditions climb this northern face.

From Tingri plain.

Afternoon sun from Tingri village.

The early catches the worm, getting up early is often rewarded in the Himalayas. From the holy site of Muktinath the views of the north-east face is stunning.

Sunset on the "White Mountain", view from south.

Sunrise from Pokhara.

Dhaulagiri (8'167 m) is the westernmost high peak of Nepal, this picture was token during the regular flight from Kathmandu to Delhi.

Flying from Pokhara to Jomsom (for Mustang trek) reveals the stunning peaks of the Dhalagiri and Annapurna massiv.

The 8'000 meter peak dominates the range to the west, several routes lead up on the steep south face to the summit 8'167 meter.

View of south-face during Annapurna Circuit trek.

The subtle changes of the light on the ice of Manaslu are terrific, turning from grey to pink to orange to yellow and then the 'regular' white.

The valley is already in the shade, but the sun is still setting on the Manaslu massiv. This picture was taken from the north-west at the high camp for Chulu Far East.

The valley still lies in darkness when the sun hits the top of Manaslu and its satellites.

Once again the sunrise is beautiful, Manaslu does not appear to be 8'000 meters high from Sama.

On the way home from Kathmandu to Delhi: Manaslu 

After climbing a nasty scree slope we break camp on the saddle between the ridges of Chulu East and Chulu Far East. Manaslu (left) rises high above all the other mountains.

From Nagarkot, Manslu is the pyramid on the right side.

I hope someday I'll visit the Karakorum

From south: Annapurna south face from the airplane on the way to Delhi. The main peak is covered by mist.

From East: Why do people climb mountains? This picture should answer all questions. View on the Annapurna range while climbing Chulu Far East. Gangapurna is on the left, the very right is Annapurna I (8'091 m)

From East: View from the high camp during the Chulu East climb.

Stunning Annapurna range, a view that opened up unexpectedly while walking to Upper Mustang.

From north: The summit of Annapurna I in the left is the highest point of the Annapurna range, but the steep ice flanks of Tilicho that stands in front of it are not any less impressive.

From the pass in the north-east the ice-clad faces of Shishapangma contrast sharply against the barren hills of the Tibetan scenery.

Prayerflags flatter in the strong on top of the pass.
