Namaste. Originally, in the summer of 2020, I was going on a photo trip to Colombia with the photographer and tour operator Martin Skjeldaleine, inspired by the fantastic impressions I was able to make in Brazil in 2019. However, the trip was canceled due to Corona travel regulations and should be made up for at a later date. Last year he also offered a 3-week photo trip to Nepal for October 2022, which I was able to experience now. However, the trip was canceled due to Corona travel regulations and should be made up for at a later date. Last year he also offered a 3-week photo trip to Nepal for October 2022, which I booked straight away without thinking twice, because as an India lover I always had Nepal on my wish list. Nepal lies between India and Tibet. The country is known for its temples and the Himalayan mountains, in which Mount Everest is also located. Its 30 million inhabitants live on an area of ​​147,181 km².

Our 8-person photo troupe met at the beginning of the journey at the airport in Frankfurt. While we were waiting for our completeness, there was a lively exchange and we got in the mood for the upcoming trip. Ahead of us was a 12.5 hour night flight with a change in Doha to the destination airport of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.

After our arrival at the airport in Kathmandu in the morning, Santos, our local guide, was waiting for us at the airport. Off we went to the hotel. A quick check-in, and immediately the camera started to explore the hustle and bustle in the narrow Gessen extensively. Even if the devastating earthquake in April 2019 caused great damage and sometimes destroyed some of the most important monuments and sites, a number of historical buildings in the city have been extensively rebuilt or restored since then.
