Annapurna Trek Photos
As we trekked towards the Annapurna Sanctuary, we encountered radically changing weather - warm sun, rain, snow, ice. Notice the rhododendron trees in the foreground; they were blooming at the lower elevations.

Nepal.

trains carry supplies to the villages. Most villages are several days
walk, over steep mountains, from a road.
Machhapuchhare
(Fish Tail) - 6997 m seen from Ghandruk; we trekked three days before arriving
at this village.
Annapurna
South (7273 m) and Hiunchuli (6441 m) seen from Tadapani.
Deurali
- our highest altitude before being forced to turn back due to ice and poor
conditions. After 7 days of trekking, we were within 3 hours of our
destination - Annapurna Base Camp. Shown are our porter and guide.
Two days later four people were killed in an avalanche along this section of the trail.
