1104837 - NEPAL Nangma -- Jul 2007 -- A Sherpa shepherdess outside her summer pasture cottage. Sherpas live in these small huts in the high pasture when their Yaks and Naks are led up to graze on the high pastures. Most will sell trekkers tea and hot meals, especially here on the other side of the valley leading up to Everest Base Camp where the Yak trail has to be used (on the opposite side of the valley from the main trail), as the bridge to Duglha (Thuglha) is often washed away by glacial runoff during the summer months. 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
