That sounds like a great trip, Clive. Your greatest challenge will be high contrast at high altitude. Do whatever you can to minimize the extreme high contrast - shoot mainly in shadows, use fill flash. The colors are very saturated and almost unbelievable. The people are friendly, the food is wonderful, the bathrooms are a challenge. Have a great trip! I would never do it without the M8, but YMMV!
