High Sierra Vibes | @bikeshdeshar.bsky.social #nature #Alpine #LandscapePhotography #Mountains #Nepal #bikeshdeshar
A wide, high-angle landscape shot taken from a boat on a calm mountain lake, surrounded by a dense forest of evergreen alpine trees along the shoreline. In the background, distant trees fade into soft blue tones as majestic, snow-capped Himalayan ranges rise against a clear blue sky. The high-density pine canopy & distant mountains almost evokes the scenic wilderness of California's High Sierra range.

A lizard perches on a guava tree branch viewed through a small pinhole opening in surrounding leaves. Sunlight backlights the foliage causing the leaves to glow softly while the lizard is framed in high-contrast light.

#TBT To My Kanchi | We used to have a great time walking through the neighborhood. After she passed away in 2015, I didn't want any more #dogs in the house, watching her leave this world was something I just couldn't bear to see. But she taught me to accept & let go of the things we can't control.

It was the day I first showed symptoms of Alt. sickness. I had to spend the night here in a tent before crossing the pass. I couldn't sleep all night, woke up around 3:30 AM & set off for the extremely #challenging pass under a starlit sky. Down in Samdo, I even dropped my headlight into the valley.

It was the scariest trail I'd ever been on. That was when I decided never to go alone in the woods like that again. #Tuesdaytrail #trails #woods #fog #forester #Nepal #wilderness #bikeshdeshar

This autumn season, 466 #climbers from around the world are preparing to summit this beautiful mountain, eighth highest mountain in the world (8163 m). First Ascent: May 9, 1956, by Toshio Imanishi & Gyalzen Norbu (Japanese expedition) #mountains #Himalayas #Nepal #autumn #trek #hike #bikeshdeshar

Shey Phoksundo National Park was my sixth #trek of the same year, 2022, the year I took my #transformation after leaving my work & not getting PhD. I was honored student. I wondered what happened in M.Sc.... Also, the year, I traveled across the Himalayan #Wilderness of Nepal. #Nepal #bikeshdeshar

Snowy High Himalayan Pass | What is the sound of footsteps in the snow called? I actually love it. The longest I've ever listened to it was about 7 & a half hrs, from under a starlit #sky & going until almost noon. #trekking #hiking #crunch #Nepal #Himalayas #mountains #Tuesdaytrails #bikeshdeshar
An exquisite view from the top of a High Himalayan Pass, looking out over a vast landscape covered in snow under a clear blue sky.

Father's Day Special! 💐 He is the reason why I started sketching & painting. A year ago, when he got sick, I had to spend more time at home looking after him. In addition to caring for my father, I also learned sketching and painting. #fathersday #Nepal #sketching #arts #bikeshdeshar

Yes, I'm Ok! Thank you very much for your concern. It's very difficult time for us that I didn't make posts. I feel very sad for Nepal right now, totally devastating! Yes, I was there on a solo trek & ultra-trail run in the foggy snowy beaten path 2022. For hrs I didn't see anyone along the trails.

My school friend, John returned home safely 2 days ago after escaping the recent flood in Nuwakot. He got early warning & managed to run to safety before it hit. He's been working there on a project for a year. He is my trekking friend in Nepal. I can't wait to meet him. [Photos ~2022, SPNP, Dolpa]

I was in the Langtang Region back in 2022. From the other side of these mountain ranges, a massive glacial outburst took place.....We're deeply saddened & heartbroken by this unimaginable disaster. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy. Let's see how can we help them! #Nepal

My favorite season to trek in the Himalayas is neither summer nor winter, but autumn, when the trees are more vibrant & the Himalayas look exceptionally clear under a pollution free blue sky. #nature #autumn #trekking #hiking #yak #Himalayas #Nepal #bikeshdeshar

Trekking in the #Himalayas almost always ends with a 6-8 hr push along glacial drainage channels. You actually have to wake up at 3:00 AM or so to cross the high pass on time---otherwise, you’ll be caught in brutal gusts of wind. But that’s where you truly find out who you are. #nature #bikeshdeshar
