Woman climbing big dead tree In Nuwakot (Nepal)

The trunk of this enormous old tree, on a hilltop, is preserved. It must have been a very impressive tree when it was alive.

Nepal 247 photos

Photos taken during a motorcycle trip with a friend in Nepal in March 2013.

This includes a trip up the Kali Gandaki valley to the Annapurnas and the Lower Mustang region, with its beautiful Himalayan landscapes.

Those photos were taken one year before the April 2014 earthquake that killed many and caused major damage in central Nepal.

Many of the buildings and temples on those photos have been damaged or destroyed by the 2014 quake, especially the shaky brick houses in Bhaktapur.
