Photo Of The Day – The Hardest Part Is Trying To Decide

Gokyo Ri

Title: The Hardest Part Is Trying To Decide

Location: Gokyo Ri, Sagarmatha National Park, Solukhumbu Region, Nepal, Asia

Description: Upon reaching the top of Gokyo Ri, a 17,500′ hill (yes, it’s just a hill, even at that height) the hardest part is truly picking a composition.

With 5 of the world’s tallest peaks within view, the longest glacier in Nepal down below, ridges, lakes, sunshine….its a daunting task.

We spend a good hour up here on me trekking tours.
