Title: Spectacular Obstacles
Date: 2019
Description: This was taken at a memorial for fallen hikers and locals on one of our highest trekking elevations (nearly 5,000 meters) near the town of Lobuche. The memorial felt like a testament to the human spirit and the incredible obstacles that face scientists, locals and hikers who want to experience this incredible ecosystem.

Title: A Tihar Sendoff!
Date: 2019
Description: Nepal plays host to several festivals. We happened to be lucky enough to be there during two of their major ones: Dashain and Tihar, which take place during almost the entirety of October. This was on our last night of the trek in a village called Phaphlu. Dancers perform in the streets for donations, oftentimes inviting the audience to join in. It really was a spectacular sendoff.

Title: Everest?! - Okhaldhunga, Nepal
Date: 2019-09-30
Description: The rest of the trip feels a little anticlimactic when, on your first full hiking day, you see in the distance the tallest mountain in the world. After seeing Everest, it hit me that I was really there, on the other side of the world, exploring the tallest mountain ranges on the planet. It was an incredibly humbling experience.
