The Great HimalayanTrail
The Great Himalaya Trail is a network of existing treks and trails which together form one of the longest and highest walking trails in the world. Winding beneath the world's highest peaks and visiting some of the most remote communities on earth, it passes through lush green valleys, arid high plateaus and incredible landscapes. Nepal's Great Himalayan Trail has 10 sections comprising a network of upper and lower routes, each offering you something different, be it adventure and exploration, authentic cultural experiences, or simply spectacular Himalayan nature. The 1,700 km Nepal section of the trail begins near Kanchenjunga on the eastern border and heads west navigating the domains of eight of the world's 8000m peaks, from the beautiful but lesser-known Makalu to the famous Everest. It is not the easiest nor most direct route across Nepal, rather a route through the Greater Himalaya. The Nepal section ends in Humla on the Tibetan border. The route offers an incredible diversity in terms of landscapes, flora & fauna, people and culture: from snow leopards to red pandas; from sub-tropical jungle to fragile high-altitude eco-systems; from the famous Sherpas, to Shamanism, to the ancient Bön Buddhist culture found still in Dolpa.

Can anyone tell me which film and photography equipment was chosen especially for this expedition? thanks in advance!
Posted by Kevin Loncke | January 6, 2012, 12:34 pmHi Kevin, I am the photographer/videomaker of the expedition: I am using a Canon 5dmkII for videos and photos, a GoPro Hero2 for videos and an Hasselblad H4D-40 for photos. Simone and Denis have also a couple of Canon g12 and a Canon 7d.
thanks

Posted by Matteo Zanga | January 7, 2012, 6:09 amP.S.: the 1st part of the video, until the arrival in hotel, is made with a Nikon d7000 and an old 50mm f1,4 AI.
Posted by Matteo Zanga | January 7, 2012, 6:12 amLots of good pictures/footage (not only here but also on your web page I see). How you look at it, this is not always possible without good equipment. I love the way you approached it so far. Anyway, shooting medium format in an mountain environment like Pakistan is simply great. I was wondering if you do the you do the finishing of the video images yourself on site? The canon g12 and 7d are doing well too.
Thank you for the response !
Kevin

Posted by Avedis Kalpaklian | January 12, 2012, 1:10 amCiao ragazzi. Leggendo il magazine della Gazzetta dello Sport, cosa che normalmente non faccio, mi sono appassionato alla vostra avventura. Premetto una cosa, sono anch’io un piccolo appassionato di montagna. Mi sono promesso di seguirvi costantemente. La vostra spedizione al limite della resistenza umana mi affascina tantissimo. In bocca al lupo, aspetto vostre nuove. Danilo
