Nepal

Trekking in the shadow of the highest mountains in the world, passing through Namche Bazar, the famous starting point for tours into the Everest region. Here, life is bustling: mountain enthusiasts from all over the world stop in this town, which has a bank, a post office, and internet cafés. At the same time, Namche Bazar remains a meeting point for Tibetan yak caravans heading to the Thame Monastery at over 3,800 meters. Nepal, the former kingdom in the heart of the Himalayas, is a country in transition. Modernity and ancient culture intersect. Its breathtaking landscapes make it a paradise for trekking enthusiasts, and the natural warmth and openness of the people touch every visitor. Mountaineer and photographer Andreas Künk has traveled through all regions of Nepal over many years - from the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the remote gorges of the Mustang Kingdom. His closeness to the people of Nepal, who often still live in harmony with nature, has provided him with countless experiences and stories - impressions from a magical land.
