Mt. Ryozen (1084m) offers green rolling hills, views of Lake Biwa and forests full of frogs, deer and a few bears. 関西でこのような景色はちょっとユニークだね。 #japan #shiga #kansai #mountains #hiking #olympus #landscape_lover #hyakkeime #yamap55 #igjapan #ig_japangram #outdoorsy #osaka #kyoto #nagoya #japantravel #日本 #滋賀 #滋賀県 #霊仙山 #鈴鹿山脈 #山 #登山 #山登り #ハイキング #アウトドア #琵琶湖 #カメラ好き #山が好きな人と繋がりたい

Back to the greenery of Japan. Lots of good weather during the latter half of Golden Week (a 10-day long public holiday) so went for a quick jaunt up one of my favourite local peaks, Mt. Ryozen (1083m). The summit area is mostly grassy thanks to the grazing of wild deer, so it has a nice open, almost British feel to it. 霊仙山の山頂は何か綺麗だ。草と石いっぱいあるからちょっとイギリスの山みたいな感じです。 #japan #kansai #shiga #ryozen #mountains #hiking #goldenweek #hyakkeime #yamap55 #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #outdoorlifestyle #hiking_daily #日本 #関西 #滋賀 #霊仙山 #ハイキング #山 #登山 #山登り #ゴールデンウィーク #旅行大好き #山が好き

After roughing it in the mountains it’s nice to return to the thick air and luxuries of Kyanjin Gompa to recover for a couple of days. This village at 3800m is in a pretty remote and barren spot but has lots of cake, yak and wifi which is all you need really. キャンジンゴンパという村に戻ってきた。ここでも富士山の山頂より高度が高い。 #nepal #himalaya #langtang #kyanjingompa #himalayas #himalayasarecalling #instanepal #ig_nepal #mountains #landscapeslovers #mountaineering #hyakkeime #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #nepaltravel #traveladventure #trekking #hiking #climbing #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #山 #登山 #山登り #旅行 #春 #カメラ好き

Heading towards Gangchempo (6387m), a frequently spotted but very rarely climbed mountain at the head of the Langtang Valley. Our main objective however is an even taller and more remote peak... ランタン谷からよく見えるガンチェンポという山の方に行きます。 #nepal #himalaya #langtang #hiking #climbing #trekking #langtangvalley #himalayas #ignepal #instanepal #mountains #natgeo #bbctravel #mountaineering #alpinist #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #山 #山登り #ハイキング #クライミング #トレッキング #旅行 #春 #カメラ

In a brief clear weather window, and with the extraordinarily kind and tough Kaji Sherpa (who has climbed Everest multiple times, along with many other big mountains) my brother and I finally made it to the top of Yala Peak (5520m). We intended it to be just a fairly straightforward acclimatization peak, but the winter conditions made it an absolutely exhausting outing, with few groups even attempting it this season. It turns out we were the first people to reach the summit this year. 今年始めてヤラ山(5520m)登頂に成功したのは僕たちらしい。すごくしんどかったが、それを知って嬉しかった。 #nepal #himalaya #himalayas #langtang #yalapeak #kyanjingompa #mountains #climbing #hiking #trekking #outdoors #summit #natgeo #hyakkeime #yamap55 #instanepal #mountain_world #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #山 #雪山 #ハイキング #クライミング #自然 #旅行 #山が好き #山頂

Base camp at 4800m. Usually there isn’t any snow here at the end of March/early April, but it’s still basically winter this time. 4800mのベースキャンプ。普通に4月はここまで雪ないが、今年はベースキャンプでも雪が多い。 #nepal #himalaya #langtang #visitnepal #kyanjingompa #instanepal #mountains #climbing #hiking #discovernepal #guardiantravelsnaps #himalayangeographic #olympusuk #beautifulplaces #camping #spring #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #山 #登山 #雪 #雪山 #クライミング #ハイキング #春 #旅行 #山が好きな人と繋がりたい

Just getting to base camp is an ordeal, absolutely exhausting in the fresh snow. ベースキャンプまでは死ぬほど疲れた。 #nepal #himalayas #langtang #discovernepal #hiking #climbing #mountains #hyakkeime #outdoors #visitnepal #ig_nepal #instanepal #travel #olympus #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #山 #登山 #雪山 #花見季節 #山が好きな人と繋がりたい #旅行 #カメラ

Setting off for base camp. Lots of snow for this time of year, but weather forecast is sunny for the next few days. ベースキャンプに行ってきます。雪が多いけど。 #nepal #langtang #yalapeak #hyakkeime #trekkingnepal #himalaya #mountains #trekking #hiking #climbing #visitnepal #discovernepal #bbctravel #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #山 #登山 #雪山 #ハイキング #クライミング #旅行 #自然 #花見

Climbed to the roughly 4500m (could be 4700m, no one seems to know) summit of Kyanjin Ri yesterday, now back down to Kyanjin Gompa at 3800m for a day of rest and contemplation. 昨日は4500mぐらい登って今日は何もしない日。 #nepal #langtang #kyanjingompa #kyanjinri #trekkingnepal #hiking #himalayas #himalaya #hyakkeime #bbctravel #natgeo #trekking #mountains #outdoors #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #山 #登山 #ハイキング #トレッキング #旅行 #山が好きな人と繋がりたい

Back in Nepal, all is good. This time will aim to climb a few peaks in the Langtang region. またネパールにいます、幸せだ。 #nepal #himalaya #langtang #himalayas #mountains #trekkingnepal #climbing #hyakkeime #langtangvalley #hiking #trekking #travel #ネパール #ヒマラヤ #登山 #山 #ハイキング #トレッキング #クライミング #旅行
