Himalayan Swimming Holes: AKA Icy Waterfalls
On the second day of our trek to Poon Hill in the Annapurna Sanctuary, my friend Brill and I stumbled upon this absolutely gorgeous waterfall pulsing through a deep, green canyon.
It was the early morning--about 7:30 when we first got to the river...
Pokhara Valley, Kaski District, Nepal.

Scrubbing Stream, Phewa Lake, Pokhara, Kaski District, Nepal.

Full Moon Festival - Bodnath Stupa, Kathmandu Nepal
We were lucky enough to be in Kathmandu, Nepal for a Full Moon festival. At sunset, the monks lit thousands and thousands of little butter candles around Bodnath Stupa. We sat at a roof-top restaurant while they did the lighting (where this image...
