“Nepal is a place that keeps drawing me in,” says photographer and world traveller Leonard Fong. “This was my fourth visit leading up to a trek to the Everest Base Camp. Of the 88 countries and counting that I’ve been to, Nepal has some of the kindest people. While it’s an adventurer’s paradise, it’s also a place where you can find balance.”
“This particular trip took me to the Annapurna Circuit,” he continues, “which is one of the most beautiful treks in the world, and definitely the greatest physical challenge I’ve endured. Located in the Himalayas of central Nepal, the 10-day journey took me through Tibetan villages, breathtaking forests, river valleys, mountain ranges and an altitude of 17,769 feet on the Thorong La Pass, touching the edge of the Tibetan plateau. There’s an energy you get in the Himalayas that you can’t find anywhere else in the world.”
