NEPAL Langtang Himalaya -- Apr 2009 -- The aftermath of an extensive forest fire in the Langtang Himalaya of Nepal. Thousands of fires broke out in the dry winter months and burned through to a crescendo in the spring of 2009. Dozens of Nepali security forces died fighting the blazes and many were set intentionally by people being careless with fires, cigarettes and even starting fires deliberately to increase growth a grass which is collected in many of the high forest areas of Nepal -- Picture by Jon Mitchell | Lightroom Photos

NEPAL Near Shyaphru Bensi -- May 2009 -- Nepali Tamangs walk along a Chinese-built road near Shyaphru Bensi about 80km from Kathmandu, which will connect roads in nearby Tibet to Nepal. China is seeking to build two new roads - this one and another through the Annapurna region - which are supposed to be for trade, though many analysts worry about their military use in the future. Aside from trade, the Chinese have been pressuring Nepal to clamp down on Tibetans living in Nepal who fled the country after a brutal invasion which culminated in 1959. The Chinese military are pressing for more access and control of northern Himalayan provinces (all full of Tibetan Buddhists, some of whom are followers of the exiled Dalai Lama) and it appears that Nepal is in the middle of a larger Great Game between India and China -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos

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

NEPAL Khumbu Valley -- 03 Aug 2007 -- This panoramic image shows the Lobuche Khola (river) in full Monsoon flow. Inreased runoff water - due to climate change - from large glaciers like the Khumbu Glacier above this river is contributing to severe Monsoon floods in the Terai of Nepal, northeastern India and Bangladesh. This year's floods were very severe, displacing some 30-40 million people and causing thousands of deaths due to polluted water supplies. Similar flooding occurred in 2004 and is expected to continue in the coming years, until there is no more glacial water, then scientists say, south Asia is likely to suffer widespread drought -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos

Here some of them examine ways to remove a large boulder from the riverbed of a tributary of the Dudh Khosi River. By removing the boulder they hope to avoid future flood events harming the village, some 10 metres above this riverbed. Upon his return journey, the photographer noted that the locals had managed to successfully remove the boulder

An overcrowded, polluted urban environment has sprung up in recent decades, which combined with political chaos has left something of a broken city when this image was taken in late October 2009. The city's residents often suffer high levels of disease, noise pollution, food contamination, rubbish disposal problems and often lack water -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos

It is now one of 21 dangerous lakes that threaten to burst their natural moraine dam and flood areas lower down the valley, as has already happened several times in recent years. The buildings and channel in the right bottom corner of the image are an Anglo-Dutch pumping station aimed to relieve the pressure on the dam -- Picture by Jonathan Mitchell | Lightroom Photos

NEPAL Tsuro Og -- Jul 2007 -- A Sherpa woman carries goods back to her home near Pheriche. In the foreground, a Zopchok (a cross-breed of cow and yak) munches on summer pasture. Climate change is set to radically alter this landscape, as temperatures rise and Himalayan glaciers melt. Some scientists say that the Khumbu Glacier, not far from here, will disappear entirely by 2035. The loss of these glaciers will have serious consequences for Asia, where many depend on the rivers that flow from these glaciers. This will probably result in desertification, having a devastating impact on the region's agriculture. Glacial overburst floods - when meltwater from a glacial lake bursts through the moraine - are also an increasing problem, the erosion on the right is a result of such a lake bursting -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos
