Great shots, my wife and I were just in Nepal last week and the closest we got was Annapurna and the others visible from Pokhara. We want to come back and do the trek to base camp in the next couple of years.

Thanks both of you 
A few more shots...
Namche at night
Lots of bridges to be crossed. Here a yak comes across one
View of same bridge from below
Solar powered kettle heater with Ama Dablam in the background
French Bakery..These words...I don't think they mean what you think they mean
Pots and pans dealers bringing their wares up the trail
Flying over Kathmandu
Landed safely

So glad this came back up again on the first page as I didn't see it first time around .... probably because if the timing of your first post is accurate, then I was actually up there about the same time, if not the exact time, as you ! Many memories come flooding back looking through your thread. Awesome. Loved the time lapses !
Exception to the trek I did being I avoided the EBC and branched off near Dole to take the much much MUCH quieter Gokyo Lakes route and then over the 5,800m Renjo Pass and back down via a different valley (the third one of the trek). I truly loved it, my second trip to Nepal, and can't wait to get back for a third time.
Lhotse, Makalu, Gyachung Kang and Ama Dablam are all much better looking mountains than Everest, which I'm sure you saw. Everest is actually relatively boring, anyway
It's just the cachet of the name that has people enthralled 
There are a few of my shots in the Sony image thread but otherwise numerous on my Instagram (link below) and some on my repository (my own website will be appearing soon - working on it with the designer now and it should be up within a month, there'll be plenty on there).

Mike - really fantastic images. Tele shots of the big peaks always get me! I'll tell you what, if you put together a guide of your trip/locations, I'd pay for it! We are on the 2 year plan before our trip out there...
I can give you a link to a great book on hiking Nepal (the guy practically lives there and has hiked virtually every major route numerous times over many years) and also contacts for great guides if needed.

These are really, really great! This was once a bucketlist item for me, but am probably not going to make it now. Really enjoyed these and the captions. Thanks for taking the time to provide these and share. Dave
