Low Country

Chitwan, Pokhara & Poon Hill · 2025

The Nepal that sits under the snowline — rhino tracks in Chitwan, a villa pool in the heat, a peace pagoda over the lake, and first light on Annapurna. Wildlife, hospitality, and the quieter hours between expeditions.

A one-horned rhinoceros standing at the edge of a dirt track in tall grass — Armor and dust. A greater one-horned rhino on the park road.

A golden-green rice field stretching toward white houses and hazy hills — Harvest light on the paddies — the low country in one field.

A white peace pagoda with a golden Buddha alcove against a clear blue sky — The stupa from below — white dome, gold figure, empty sky.

A still blue swimming pool framed by palms and a thatched cabana — Shade, stone, and still water after the park.

Black-and-white close-up of a seated Buddha statue on a lotus throne — Metal, lotus, and the carved halo behind the closed eyes.

A tall glass of blended pineapple drink with mint and a grilled pineapple wedge — Cold glass, charred fruit, late sun — a still life from the patio.

A silhouetted tree framing a golden lake and hazy mountains at sunset — Golden hour on the water. A few boats hold the middle distance.

Sunburst through lakeside foliage with sparkle on the water — Leaves in front, light on the lake.

A hiker in an Outdoor Research jacket raising both arms at sunrise above snow peaks — First light on the Annapurnas — jacket, pack, and the hour it was made for.

A crowd of trekkers on a rocky viewpoint facing a snow-capped mountain range at sunrise — The viewpoint fills. The range does not get smaller.
