Cho Oyu - 8201m above Sea Level

2015-Nepal


This album is dedicated to a trip to Nepal and the Himalayas in 2015.
Traveled by a group of 7 people, by plane from Kathmandu to Lukla, and then by foot along the trail to the lakes of Gokyo. We saw three eight-thousand mountains - Everest, Lhotse and Cho Oyu. Could see the fourth - Makalu, but not lucky with the weather.

In Hinduism, a sādhu is a religious ascetic or holy person. Although the vast majority of sādhus are yogīs, not all yogīs are sādhus. The sādhu is solely dedicated to achieving mokṣa (liberation), the fourth and final aśrama (stage of life), through meditation and contemplation of Brahman. Sādhus often wear saffron-coloured clothing, symbolising their sannyāsa (renunciation). This way of life is open to women; the female form of the word is sādhvī. In 2014, an all-female akhada (group of sadhus) was formed; it is believed to be the first such group in India.
