A
trek in the Nepal Himalayas is something that
you will remember for the rest of your life. You
will tell your family, your friends, work colleges
and anyone who will listen, all about the sights
that you have seen, but what will impress them
more than anything else is a photograph album
packed with images of this magical kingdom.
If you are a "camera buff" then you will not need
my advice. However, if you are like myself, and
carry a camera with you on walks etc just in case
you spot something interesting do not worry. A
modern compact 35mm camera, preferably with a
zoom, flash and motor wind will cope with virtually
every eventuality. They have become an almost
standard item in most peoples travel bag wherever
they go. A U.V. filter, especially in the mountains,
is essential however.
You will have numerous chances to capture images
of the countryside as you trek, as well as chances
to photograph the charming Nepalese people that
you meet. Most people that you meet will have
no objection to being "snapped", especially in
Kathmandu, but in the mountains some may be a
little shy. They may even request a small fee.
Whatever you do, take great care not to invade
people's privacy, do not photograph family ceremonies
without permission, and be prepared to make a
donation if you photograph a religious ceremony.
The other piece of advice I would offer is to
take plenty of film with you. Film in Kathmandu
can be a little more expensive than at home and
it may well have been through an airport x-ray
machine before reaching Nepal. Twenty rolls of
36 exposure film for a two or three-week trek
is not too much. If you cannot wait to see the
results of your handiwork, there are plenty of
good quality film processing facilities in Kathmandu.
