The Everest base camp trek

Part 7: Pheriche


Pheriche is located in an open valley far from any other village. At night the sky is filled with stars. I never knew that so many stars were visiable once the urban polution is gone. This picture was taken just before sunrise (3-4am) to the north-west with a long exposure (~5m). The light streaks in the sky are actually stars seen moving as the earth rotates.
 

As the sun starts to shine, the mountains start to glow.
