Nepal

The vast majority of coverage in Nepal is walking trekkers. This means that the camera often will look noticeably low, and the coverage is mainly taken on trails inaccessible by car. There are also official tripod trekkers.

All of the Nepalese coverage was taken within the extraordinary Himalayan mountains. You will always see either forested or completely barren mountains in all directions.

Most Nepalese buildings are built with the same type of grey brick, with colourful metal roofs. Nicer houses will often have colourfully painted details around the windows and on the higher floors. It is also common to see decorated, Chinese-style gates.

Nepal has an extreme amount of rock walls, particularly near settlements.

This type of white-painted buddhist stupa, sometimes with painted eyes on the sides, are only found in Nepal.

Coverage in Nepal is limited to the northeast of the country, in the general area southwest of Mount Everest.

Green forests and trees are found in the southern parts of the Nepalese coverage.

Barren mountain trails are found in the northern parts of the coverage.

A lot of the coverage in the vicinity of Namche Bazar can be summarised as being sunny, with the trails going close to the treeline, meaning you will be either near the top of or just above a forest for most of this coverage. You will generally see barren or snowy mountains in some direction.

Namche Bazar is by far the largest and most densely populated settlement with coverage in Nepal. There is also some coverage looking down on the town.

The southernmost coverage in Nepal is situated in the town of Lukla, which can be recognised by the narrow street with relatively large buildings, combined with the extremely dark coverage.

Khumjung village, situated just north of Namche Bazar, can be recognised by the jagged mountain towering above the village. Almost every house in the village has a green roof.

Beware that there is a label for Khumjung further north, which is not close to the village.

Pangboche is a fairly large settlement with fairly bright coverage. The surrounding landscape mainly consists of forested mountains nearby and some taller mountains in the distance.

Phorste is a fairly scarcely built settlement with a massive recognizable mountain close by. There are a lot of dead-looking trees surrounding the village.

Around the southern tip of the Nepalese coverage, you will get this dark, overcast coverage inside a forested valley.

North of Phakding you will get more overcast coverage in the same forest valley, however here the coverage is far brighter.

The coverage from Monjo up to Namche Bazar is also within the same valley, however here the coverage is mostly sunny and bright.

The valley by Thamu can be recognised by the generally forested mountainsides, combined with the angle of the valley, going northwest to southeast.

Next to the village of Thame you can see this snowy, and shining bright mountain range.

Northeast of Namche Bazar, you can find this semi-green river valley with clouds covering all mountains surrounding it.

On a section north of Phorste, you get a view of the mountain Tobuche, covered in a blanket of clouds.

Further north, the cloud blanket is replaced by small, spotty clouds somewhat resembling smoke coming out of chimneys.

Even further north, the clouds disappear completely, and you get a clear view of the Tobuche peak.

Leaving Tobuche behind, you will find this small, ice-covered lake, right by Gokyo, with jagged mountains as a backdrop.

North of the icy lake, you reach a barren landscape, with a trail going to the north-north-west.

East of Gokyo, you reach this dried out glacial valley, with bright grey rocks as far as you can see.

NOTE: This valley can less commonly be seen from the trail north of Gokyo.

East of the glacial valley, you get to a somewhat red-coloured, rugged mountainside right next to the trail.

Leaving the red mountainside behind, you enter a somewhat U-shaped valley, going firmly upwards.

Above the U-shaped valley, you get a view of this spiky mountain range. While there are some clouds around the peaks, they are mostly clearly visible.

As you lose sight of the spiky mountains, you cross over a glacier, which is the largest patch of snow covered ground with coverage in the country.

The area east of the glacier can be recognised by the many irregular clouds spread across the sky and covering various mountain peaks.

Further along the trail, you get this stunning view over Tobuche from the eastern side. The mountains get increasingly covered in clouds to the west.

Closing in on the final trek toward Everest, you get a view of this wide, high-altitude river valley.

Slightly east of Namche Bazar, you can find this very overcast trail following the mountainside. There are still some trees around, and the trail is noticeably higher above the valley than other overcast sections with trees.

East of the POI called ‘Deboche’, you get this very overcast forest coverage. The dirt here is very bright and sandy, which can help differentiate it from the southern trail.

You can recognise the trail between Pangboche and Dingboche by the massive mountains, combined with the sun looking somewhat hazy.

North of Dingboche, you reach a high-altitude valley with very low clouds covering the sky and most of the surrounding mountains.

Closing in on Everest, you get this completely barren landscape, with the trail going to the north-north-east.

Reaching the endpoint of the coverage, you finally get a stunning view of the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest.
