“The Himalayas were visible at last. What I could see now was a great wall of ice, snow and rock stretching to the horizon in two directions. Something like a cloud was powering off one of the steepest slopes at incredible speed – an avalanche. The sky was turning pink. The highest snowy slopes were rosy and the sun picked out sharp angles in the mountains.” AdventureMountainsAvalancheClimbing MountainsClimbing QuotesHimalaya Book:Himalayan Heist: an Alex and James wildlife adventure in Nepal Source: Himalayan Heist: an Alex and James wildlife adventure in Nepal

“When we reached the prayer flags and a pile of rocks that marked the highest point on the pass, the view was brilliant. There was hardly a cloud in the sky. To the south we could see rolling foothills: the gentle ups and downs that we’d walked through. Some of the hillsides were red or purple with rhododendron blossoms. To the west and east there was a muddle of ridges and spurs. To the north, there were several mighty snow-capped himals. The real Himalayan giants were mostly east of where we stood. We were a very long way from anywhere. We were a very long way from help.” AdventureMountainsChildren S BooksNepalHimalayasMountains QuotesChildrens LiteratureHimalayanPrayer Flags Book:Chasing the Tiger Source: Chasing the Tiger
