The third and final high mountain pass we crossed on our trek was Kongma La Pass. It resides at a cool 5535 meters or 18159 feet. Most of the time the 3 passes circuit is done counterclockwise and this is the first pass you will cross. We had chosen to do it clockwise, which ended up being a lot quieter and unintentionally harder. I had been pretty lucky so far on our trip both physically and mentally. The altitude and the long days didn't seem to bother me too much until I got to the top of Kongma La Pass. I arrived at the top and was bordering on a panic attack. I was light headed and felt super anxious. Luckily my girlfriend was there to calm me down, but I didn't stay long to enjoy the view. I just felt like I had to get down. Maybe it was the altitude, exposure, lack of food or a combination of all three. I guess I'll never know for sure. This image of the layers of mountains that lay ahead of us will always remind me of that day. It reminds me that nature is always in charge and we are not always fully in control out there.

In 2017, my girlfriend and I embarked on a 5 week journey through Nepal. During that time we spent 19 days trekking through the Everest region. We covered almost 300 kilometers, went over 3 mountain passes, 2 glaciers and reached heights of 5600 meters (18373 feet). We did the whole trek without the use of a guide or porter. I found the sense of adventure and accomplishment of doing it completely on our own to be super rewarding. We stayed in teahouses in tiny Nepalese villages along the way. Eating our fair share of dal bhat and noodle dishes, sitting around fireplaces fueled by yak dung. It was a trip that will forever resonate with me and I will for sure be returning someday, in the hopefully not so distant future.
This mini collection of 6 photographs marks some of my favorite views we experienced on our journey.
All images are captured by Vincent Schnabl, landscape and adventure photographer based out of Revelstoke, British Columbia Canada.
