Nepalese trekking guide Ram Bahadur Gurung caught this massive avalanche on video late last month and it’s a doozie. The guide captured the impressive footage at the base camp of Tilicho, near Annapurna. In the caption, he mentions it’s the biggest he’s ever seen in the region. And that’s saying a lot considering it’s the Himalayas. The debris is so widespread it can be seen pouring out into the lowland valley at the end of the video.
