Nikon D4s & 70-200mm f/4G.

Thank you for looking.

Wonderful...
Showing this in B&W is a courageous choice, the colors (red?)  must be so unique!

Thank you.
In fact there was no red there. Only green and grey.

That is a stunning image, very different from the run of the mill landscapes.

Very impressive indeed!

Stunning photo! Black and white was a good choice.
The place reminds of a village called Naudanda (?) I visited a long time ago, it was also located on top of a ridge. A few hours walk from Pokhara.
(I wish I could see the photo larger, I cannot see it on Photobucket because I use adblocker)

..... very different from the run of the mill landscapes.....

I'm not sure what is that.
Thanks for the comment anyway.
Thanks Simone and Bjorn for the comments too.

Aguinaldo, nice, I like the B&W and composition.   Always amazes me how much the people walk.  A friend , who managed the staff at another friend's restaurant, took 4 days of trains, buses and a 20 mile walk to get back to his village in Nepal at the end of the Tourist season.  Since I can no longer walk up hill, horses and ponies would be my only recourse.
Many thanks for posting

This is spectacular, Aguinaldo!  Your B&W treatment looks perfect for rendering the dynamic geometry of this scale.

Very sparkling rendering - looks like an old glass plate B&W - Very nice

[David Paterson]

Very, very nice. Your Nepal images are a joy to look at, and are refreshingly different from anything I have seen before.

Thank you guys for the kind words.
Tom, we had horses in this trek. A 73 yo woman made the whole distance on the horse.

Beautiful image.
I love landscapes taken with a telephoto, and your viewpoint makes it even more intruiging

Great shot, perfect B&W :-) Bring back memories of when I was a child on horseback in very narrow passages in Nepal, Sikkim and Cachemire ! Seems like thousands of years ago, so maybe the B&W acts like a time machine :-)
