Nepal: the land of giants, millions of years old, reaching for the skies. Take my money! 📸: @Mojaazja.pl #AdventurusQuest https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn3CGqLgK-l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rvax7c3jz76i

One of the highest lakes in the world shimmers on this beautifully clear day, below the Mother Goddess. Pay attention to the wonderful geology in this image ... and then to the erosion - a battle raging for millions of years where the Himalayas continue to rise and the elements continue to break them down. Can you see the buildings by the lake? I’d love to stay there! HT Iuzol/Tumblr #AdventurusQuest

It might be brisk and winter here in Sydney, but that can’t stop us from wishing we were on the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe, paddle boarding and taking it all in! Did you know that at its deepest, Lake Tahoe is approx. 300m deep - which would be almost as tall as the Eiffel Tower (324m)! 📸: @everchanginghorizon #AdventurusQuest

Almost there. And the summit keeps calling. “Going up is optional. Coming down is mandatory” 📸 HT: MountEverestOfficial/Instagram #AdventurusQuest

The beautiful Swiss Alps. Just take my money already. 📸: maxrivephotography #AdventurusQuest

Around basecamp, small lakes of glacial melt pool while jagged edge peaks of the highest mountains on Earth rise dramatically. It's an alien world unlike anything I've ever seen - one of raw and unforgiving beauty.

This time of year is not usually the peak season to trek, due to the monsoon but those who do are able to enjoy less crowded routes.

Everest Base Camp is set on the world's highest Glacier - the Khumbu Glacier, a moving river of solid ice, slowly carving its way down through the valley.
