Photo by @bethjwald // “To the south and west, glowing in snow light and late sun, the great white Kanjirobas rise in haze, like mystical peaks that might vanish at each moment. The caravans are gone into the underworld. Far behind me and below, in the wastes where I have come from, my companions are black specks upon the snow. Still b“reathing hard, I listen to the wind in my own breath, the ringing silence, the snow fire and soaring rocks, the relentless tappeting of prayer flags, worn diaphanous, that cast wind pictures to the northern blue. I have the universe all to myself. The universe has me all to itself.” From “The Snow Leopard” by Peter Matthiessen

This week last year, I photographed the Kanjiroba range looming over deep valley, cloud-filled valleys, while descending from Bagala Pass in Upper #Dolpo. I was traveling through this surreally beautiful landscape with renowned conservation biologist George Schaller, following the route Schaller took with Peter Matthiessen in 1973, a journey that become the basis for Matthiessen’s iconic book “The Snow Leopard”. Also with us in 2016 was Peter Matthiessen’s son, Alex, Tshiring Lama, a young biologist from Dolpo who is studying the snow leopard in her #mountain homeland, and Peter Werth, who brings renewable energy to Dolpo villages. We spent five weeks in Dolpo looking at changes to communities, wildlife and habitat. In part based on recommendations made by Schaller after the 1973 trip, a large part of Upper Dolpo is now a National Park – Shey Phoksundo National Park. Thanks to National Geographic for a grant that helped support the project.
