Boilerpipe Text	After twelve days in the Himalayas and many thousands of units of elevation change, I have successfully returned to the civilized world (read about the trek here if you prefer words to pictures). I saw yaks, goats, dogs, horses, trekkers from all over the world, and an absurd amount of mountains (you almost take the incredible landscapes for granted after a week – it’s nonstop mind-blowingness). No matter how expertly composed the photos of a place may be, nothing comes close to seeing things for yourself. Despite my only being to share what I saw via tiny images on the tiny screen in front of you (where you should probably have work-related stuff instead), I have done my best to paint a picture of what can be expected (a lot of mountains). These are my favorite images from my first (and not my last) trip to the tallest mountains on Earth. If you have any questions about a specific photo (or are interested in seeing more), then leave a comment below. Tenzing-Hillary Airport, 9,100 ft / 2,800 m and home to only four fatal accidents. A porter on his way out of Lukla. These guys are the heroes of the Himalayas Not a “money” stone, a “mani” stone. Walk clockwise around them to avoid being a rude foreigner. One of many long, high, and shaky suspension bridges that trekkers cross on their way up into the Himalayas The view of Namche Bazaar – well past hiker midnight Hikers overlooking the valley below Namche Bazaar The entrance to the incredible Tengboche Monastery The view from inside the Tengboche Monastery Ama Dablam: 22,349 ft / 6,812 m of glory Sunset on the highest point on Earth Hiking up to Dingboche from Tengboche Taking a break on the way up to Chukhung from Dingboche The 18,208 ft / 5,550 m summit of Chukhung-Ri One of the many yaks that roam the Himalayas Surrounded by giants on the way to Dughla Everything you need to survive in the Himalayas One of the many stray dogs that freely roam the mountains Entertaining myself near Lobuche Hiking up to Gorak Shep from Lobuche The dry lakebed at Gorak Shep The highest place on Earth Everest Base Camp! Mount Everest as seen from Kala Patthar at sunrise On the summit of Kala Patthar – 18,208 ft / 5,550 m Sunrise from Kala Patthar Heading back down via an alternate route. Snowfall in Namche Bazaar on my last full day in the Himalayas. One of the man awesome kids I met on my journey.

I am planning a trip to Tokyo in late Oct and it appears they strongly discourage climbing Mt Fuji at this time. In fact they require a “portable toilet”.

I don’t think Fuji is dangerous at that time of year. It’s just that the facilities will be closed and it is outside the “official climbing season”. The Japanese are big on rules so for them, climbing Fuji out of season would definitely be considered “dangerous”, but I would say that you’re fine.

Readable Markdown	![A stone memorial adorned with colorful prayer flags stands against a backdrop of snowy mountains near Everest Base Camp. The plaque honors individuals who contributed to a historic event, under a clear blue sky overhead.](https://www.halfwayanywhere.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Fallen-Hiker-Monument-Himalaya.jpg) After twelve days in the Himalayas and many thousands of units of elevation change, I have successfully returned to the civilized world (read about the trek [here](https://www.halfwayanywhere.com/trails/everest-base-camp/) if you prefer words to pictures). I saw yaks, goats, dogs, horses, trekkers from all over the world, and an absurd amount of mountains (you almost take the incredible landscapes for granted after a week – it’s nonstop mind-blowingness). No matter how expertly composed the photos of a place may be, nothing comes close to seeing things for yourself. Despite my only being to share what I saw via tiny images on the tiny screen in front of you (where you should probably have work-related stuff instead), I have done my best to paint a picture of what can be expected (a lot of mountains). These are my favorite images from my first (and not my last) trip to the tallest mountains on Earth. If you have any questions about a specific photo (or are interested in seeing more), then leave a comment below.
