The landscapes of the Himalayas, a spectacular picture
Welcome to my page of photographs and posters of the Himalayas. Seen from afar, the Himalayan mountains are so high that they seem to float in the sky, suspended as if by magic above the plains. In Nepal, everything is on such a large scale that the eye has difficulty measuring it... There are villages inhabited at altitudes higher than Mont Blanc!
At such altitudes, the air is so pure that you might sometimes think you are in space. Those are ideal conditions for the mountain landscape photography. The hights snow capped peaks shine in the crystalline light of the morning, while the Sherpas carry their disproportionate load in tap shoes on the stony paths.
You will find on this page all my most beautiful photographs of the Himalayas in Nepal, landscapes that I traveled through during a trip in 2022. I wish you a good viewing, and I hope that you will feel as I do the unique beauty of these wild mountains!

Meeting the Skies and the Nepalese Passes: A Photographic Odyssey
The photos of the Himalayas that you have just seen come from my trip around Everest in November 2022. My journey to Nepal, through the three passes trek, was overall much more than a physical adventure. It was an immersion in the very essence of the mountain, a visual quest which thus redefined my passion for photography.
On the three passes trek
The journey began at Phaplu, a discreet gateway to the splendors of the Himalayas. The first steps on the trail, towards Kharikhola, then opened the way to a world where each step was an ascent into the unknown. Discovering the unique high altitude lights was like entering a mystical realm. The sun's rays then danced on the peaks, creating plays of light and shadow of almost unreal beauty.
Lukla, the classic starting point for many expeditions, then welcomed me with its clean air. Sharp as a razor blade! Every breath was an affirmation of life, every step an affirmation of determination. The climb to Namche Bazaar, through trails winding up the mountainside, then offered breathtaking views and a deep connection with the power of nature.
Discovering the Nepalese peaks
The following days took me to Dingboche. The striking contrasts between the icy peaks and the green valleys then came to life. The climb up Cho La Pass was a challenge, but the moment I reached the pass was a triumph. Encounters with local wildlife, from the majestic Himalayan Monal to the graceful Himalayan Tahr, subsequently added a wild dimension to my experience.
Gokyo, a gem in the heart of the mountains, gave me a unique perspective on the grandeur of the Himalayas. The view from Renjo La was like a living painting, with the mountains stretching out into infinity. Each click of the shutter was a humble attempt to capture this magnificence in a still image.
The return to Namche Bazaar and the daily Dahl Bat dinner in the modest inns were then moments of sharing with the Nepalese, whose warm welcome was a comforting constant. Their smiles, full of simplicity and kindness, made each stage of the trip memorable.
High altitude photographs of the Himalayas
The pure, sharp beauty of the dizzying peaks, visible at every turn, was an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The first light of day illuminating Everest, the sharp ridges of the Ama Dablam and the vast glaciers of the Gokyo Valley fueled my passion for mountain photography.
Each night spent in these high altitudes was a lesson in humility in the face of the grandeur of nature. The stars seemed within reach. The glow of the moon on the snow-capped peaks created a silent symphony in the Himalayan night.
The return to Phaplu was not the end, but rather the beginning of a new vision. The photographs captured during this adventure tell the story of a deep immersion in the splendor of the Himalayas. Each image is an invitation to explore, feel and witness the majesty of these sky-defying peaks. The Three Passes Trek has transcended the physical experience to become a visual adventure. A symphony of lights, colors and landscapes forever engraved in my soul as a mountain photographer.
