Himalayan landscape photography tour

No photography tour of Nepal is complete without venturing into the Himalayas. The Annapurna and Everest regions offer breathtaking landscapes that are a delight to any lens. Trek to vantage points like Poon Hill for sunrise over the Annapurna Range or Kala Patthar for an up-close view of Mount Everest. The snow-capped peaks, prayer flags, and quaint mountain villages provide a myriad of opportunities for landscape and portrait photography. Less travelled, off the beaten paths of Kanchenjunga, Manaslu or Dolpo exhibits more rustic but authentic Himalayan landscape and portrait. The eight out of the ten highest mountains in the world in Nepal’s territory, make it paradise for Himalayan landscape photography.
