Nepal

Photos taken around Kathmandu, Pokhara and an 18-day trek around the Annapurna Circuit in April 2008.

One of the most varied treks in the world, the Annapurna Circuit combines an incredible variety of landscapes (rivers, mountains, forests, gorges, high-altitude passes, local villages, farming), any weather possible (from hot and sunny to freezing and snowing), a physical challenge (230km+ at altitudes between approx 800m-5400m), friendly locals and a rich cultural experience into a trek that generally takes less than three weeks. Absolutely amazing.
