Himalayan nights

If you have ever been trekking in Nepal’s mountains, you’ll know well how cold it can get at night. For his series ‘Himalayan Nights’, travel photographer Alex Treadway spent many freezing winter evening hours getting the shot with the right combination of starlight, clouds, mountains and tent.

This was taken high up on the Manaslu Circuit trek after about 10 days of walking, just before the Larke La pass (5100m). Treadway describes the next day:
“The view from the Larkya La is just astonishing. It looks straight out over four converging glaciers to the huge wall of 7000 m and 8000 m peaks of Himal Chuli and the Annapurnas.”
