Scale is different in the Himalayas .

very impressive! What do they live on up there? Do they farm, or do they herd? How about water?
pretty harsh environment!
Great shot!

That's sublime--easily one of the best landscapes I've seen here on PF.

Exactly! And it's a great demonstration of the reason that so many K3ii and K1 users keep saying how much they miss the pop-up flash, so handy and easy for places like mountains!

An inspirational image, dramatic and beautiful at the same time.

Thanks pichaser, indeed riding up any valley takes a week, not a day as in the Alps...

Thanks François ! Yes they cultivate mainly barley and do have some animals (cows, horses and yacks in the upper valleys). I did not feel that water was a major problem, although fields need irrigation.

Excellent ! Don't tell anyone but I'm a beta tester for the new Pentax high power flash that will make all other brands jealous (if approved for civil use)

Thanks mcgregni ! It was actually the first "authentic" village that we saw on the trip, it was quite a shock (like travelling back in time)

Beautiful capture! I am curious at what elevation this is.

Thanks Todd ! This village was around 3,000m I believe. Higher in the valley there are villages above 4,000m (some pictures soon)

regards,

Dan
