Flying around Everest was just amazing. I received a very twee certificate for my efforts saying “I may not have climbed Everest, but I touched it with my heart!”
This image was taken about an hour away from the top of Poon Hill – a “hill” it certainly wasn’t standing at 3,210 meters! We weren’t lost I was just asking as I had done a million times that day “How much further?”

Bungamati village was particularly badly damaged by the earthquake of April 2015. The attitude of the locals is very much get on with life and lets not discuss the earthquake.

Meanwhile families are still living in temporary shelters made of corrugated iron.
