NEPAL Near Phunki Tenga -- Porters make their way towards Phunki Tenga carrying commercial loads. Trekking in the Monsoon season is not always a rainy experience, as the sunny weather here shows (this photo taken at the end of July). The advantages of a Monsoon trek in the Everest region are many, while mountain views are not always available, the whole area bursts into life and usually, on rainy days, it only rains for a few hours, meaning that the trekker does not get as wet as they would perhaps expect. Uncrowded trails and lush scenery reveal an often unseen side of the Khumbu Himal -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos

So legendary are the load-carrying abilities of the Nepalese that the word Sherpa, a term for one of the country's ethnic groups, has become synonymous with "porter." A typical Nepalese porter can carry a load nearly as heavy as he or she is. They are highly regarded as expert mountaineers as well as having good physical endurance and resilience to high altitude conditions.

NEPAL Namche Bazaar -- Aug 2007 -- While Namche is no hive of activity during the Monsoon months, it still retains it's charms and provides better opportunities to get to know the locals than in the main season. Trekking the Everest region in the Monsoon months is becoming increasingly popular for some. While the views are not so spectacular as in the main seasons, the elusive, cloudy landscapes are enchanting. The Monsoon reveals a different side of the Everest region, with bright displays of flowers and less trekkers, allowing for a different trek to the usual one -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos

NEPAL Thamo -- 15 Jul 2007 -- A Sherpa boy skips down the street in Thamo in the Nangpa Valley of the Khumbu Himal (Everest region). Trekking this area during the annual Monsoon is not all rainy days and offers a different side to the region than is seen in the usual seasons. Lower numbers of trekkers allow for more insight into the daily life of the Sherpas and lush green landscapes abound - and it does not rain for more than a few hours each day and sometimes not at all -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos

NEPAL Kathmandu -- A busy main thoroughfare in central Kathmandu, Nepal. Although not as bad as Dakar, Kathmandu has many narrow streets which are often crowded with traffic. Exhaust fumes, generators and local brick kilns cause high and dangerous air pollution levels, particularly outside the annual monsoon season. Noise levels are also damaging to health, with incessant use of horns (which is normal road ettiquette in South Asia) in narrow streets makes the capital a deafening place to be. There is little city planning in the Kathmandu Valley and many of it's problems stem from the increasingly large population. Like Indian cities a large variety of vehicle and their various adaptations ply the roads of the Himalayan capital each day, making for a fascinating, if very noisy, sight -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos
