These all photos reflects the culture, beauty and the global warming effect of high Himalayas of Nepal. These photos shows the present day true picture of Nepal; how global warming is effecting the high Himalayas causing less snow and drying lakes in Himalayan region, Tibetan culture that is alive in this region and geographic beauty of Nepal.

I am Jeetesh Pradhan residence of Pokhara-11, Nepal. I work for Enternepal Pvt. Ltd. as editor and assistant director. I got chance to travel a lot inside the Nepal. We spent more than 8 months traveling around the Nepal doing documentary of different indigenous people and places. I love to visit new places and to meet new people. I love to know other cultures, way of life, tradition, language and mostly love to hear there stories. I love to trek and do hiking too. During these times I love to take photographs that tells story about that place, their culture, way of life and culture and wants to give more information about that place through my photos. I am taking photos from about one half years ago with my canon 400 d and Nikon d 40. I never get chance to learn photography institutionally but I learn through different ebooks that I get in internet.
I feel that I should be chosen for scholarship so that I can learn more and get better pictures during my travel and show the world that how we can tell a story through our photography and spread messages to world. Bhutan and Nepal geographic structure and culture of Bhotias people are almost same so I will not face any problem during the training and will perform high during that period. This is my chance to show the world that country Nepal also exists in this world.
