The report is in many ways "the first time": there are solely black-and-white pictures, no comments (a map will eventually fill up the free space), and no order. Full-scaled pictures are available from 1280 pixels screen resolution. For this, the navigation menu had to go; to leave the gallery, click on "exit". A warning in the end: if you are using a slow Internet connection or an older version of Internet Explorer, be patient .Start
The map in the background is Territoire du Nepaul by Philippe Vandermaelen from his six-volume Atlas universel de géographie physique, politique, statistique et minéralogique of 1827. Everything beyond Himalaya (nice: "Montagnes de l'Himalaya couvertes de neiges perpétuelles") appears to be known by hearsay only: most Mustang villages are really situated to the west of Kali Gandaki, "Gunduck" on the map. The height of Dhaulagiri is stated at 26,462ft (8071m), a damn good approximation of the real thing (26,777ft, or 8167m).
