I do really like the telephoto for good depth of field shots - but since it's a cheaper lens - the conditions have to be right to use it ; namely good lighting. I hear ya - half the time I'm way more worried about falling and breaking my equipment than falling and breaking my leg. As soon as I don't have my camera around my neck I feel naked, but my stress level goes down when doing this type of hiking! @jason - totally understand the issue of not wanting to flash expensive equipment - it's always a gamble. Ah - the challenges of long term travel for the photographer are many! @Anygelina – I carry a cheap 75 -300, a wide 10-22 and an everyday good 17-55.

That said, I have a P&S for those times that it may not be safe. What 3 lenses did you decide to take? I'm not into big zooms so I have the 10-22, 50mm 1.4 and a 17-85 for my 40D.

We struggle with similar issues regarding our video and camera shots. I would love to take shots in markets and bus terminals, but they remain the most unsafe places to bring out your expensive equipment. And, yes, sometimes we leave the stuff in the hostel in order to pack as light as possible. Either way, your shots in this article are still incredible. Sherry, some amazing photos.
