we've got a hiker in a region of nepal. we can see how beautiful and blue the sky is.he sun is shining right over his shoulder. moments later, though, i'll show you a different part of the video. >> is that snow? >> it is snowing on this man's head. seconds later, let me show you the bit in between. >> the moment he realized it was about to snow. he's hiking along, hiking along and suddenly -- [ speaking foreign language ] >> take cover. run quick. those aren't clouds that you see in that valley. >> an avalanche? >> yep. an avalanche. way off in the distance, you see this snow boiling and tumbling down the mountain, the clouds of snow kicking it up as it approaches it. it's a distance away. here now, you can see it closer, right over that ice, it has lost a lot of momentum and steam. but all that snow as been kicked up in the air and raining down on his head. >> that's the way he's walking. >> isn't that the thrill of going on these hikes? the fact that they are so unpredictable and it's a challenge for you. so awesome. >> you got what you came for, right? you got what
