Thanks for sharing your itinerary!

May I know how did you book the flights between Kathmandu <-> Lukla ? I intend to go in the semi peak period in Spring, just wondering how can I book the tickets.

Hi Royden, Actually I joined a group from Malaysia called My Mountain Goal, they are the one who arrange everything for the whole trip. I believe you can easily arrange flight from Kathmandu to Lukla in the airport there in Kathmandu. Take note that the climbing season in Nepal is April to May and September to October. Cabins are usually close during non season climb in this area.

Hi Damien, I only use UV filter in this trip. Usually if I'm having problem in shooting these view, specially direct with the sun, I use spot metering. Thank you for viewing my photo.
