Few sights in the world are as breathtaking as the Himalayan mountains. And photographer and blogger Tom Rex Jesset can whole-heartedly vouch for this statement. Earlier this year he turned the travel dream of hiking the Everest Base Camp and volunteering in rural Nepal into a reality. In doing so, Tom was able to witness some of the most incredible scenery imaginable while trekking up to 5500m in the Himalayas.
He says, "My team of volunteers and I then got to return our gratitude to the people of Nepal by completing a week's charity work in a small rural community in Eastern Nepal helping to provide educational opportunities to disadvantaged children." He adds, "volunteering with the charity ThisWorldExists has given me the opportunity to give back to the world while having some of the best adventures of my life." Check out his stunning photos below:
