  • Near piles of chopped wood logs, a local hotel owner makes adjustments to solar panels that powers his guesthouse business in a remote Himalayan village, and for the sake of passing trekkers wanting hot showers after the climb up to this altitude, on 12th December, Ghorepani, Nepal. Ghorepani is at a height of 2874m (9429 ft) and is located within the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), requiring a national park permit to visit and contains a number of "guest houses" that provide lodging and meals to mountain trekkers, many of whom spend the night before a pre-dawn trek to the top of nearby Poon Hill (3210m/10531 ft) to watch the sunrise.

  • High in the mountains is a lone tree stands as testament to the deforestation problem in the Himalayas, wood used for tourist showers. Communities here partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing but also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers from all over the world walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. To be greeted by so much choice is the most rewarding experience and the offer of hot showers is about the best reward for so much exertion.

  • A young Nepali man peers out from a curtain to talk to an unseen neighbour in a remote village near Ulleri, in the Himalayan foothills, Nepal.

  • A local man carries electric cabling uphill on the Annapurna Sanctuary trekking route in central Nepal. With few roads that can transport supplies and raw materials up to remote foothill communities, the only way is often to carry what one needs on the back or by yak. The paths are even but often very steep in places so stamina and endurance are needed to get even modest weights uphill. Nepalis up here often want newer technology and basic electricity to power lights and showers although solar power is another answer.
