NEPAL + INDIA 2011
NEPAL. ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT PART 3
 Kagbeni was my favorite
village of the whole circuit 
 Late afternoon is the best
time to observe the local people's live 
 There was something
special about Kagbeni, it feels like a medieval village 
 Most houses here don't
have running water 
 The town's pre-Buddhist
protector 
 In case you didn't notice
it's phallus, here is a close-up

and turning prayer wheels 
 From this point a special
Upper Mustang permit is required. It costs $500 for 10 days 
 However, looking at Upper
Mustang is free from here 
 Tourists can visit Upper
Mustang only in a group with a guide. Maybe in my next life... 
 It never hurts to ask a
tourist for sweets or even money 
 A photo together? This I
can do! 
 Morning view down the Kali
Ghandaki valley. Start early to avoid the afternoon wind! 
 Some say Kali Ghandaki is
the deepest canyon on Earth, with Annapurna and Dhaulagiri on both
sides 
 Road between Jomsom and
Marpha 
 The road bypasses Marpha
and has not destroyed the atmosphere

 A very long bridge across
the Kali Ghandaki river 
 Village of Khobang. Hotels
are empty because most tourists finish their trek in Jomsom 
 Our hotel in Larjung 
 A small and simple
watermill in Larjung 
 Local women who came to
make flower 
 Dhaulagiri 8167m. Can you
believe it's 5600m above me? 
 This type of stairs is
very common here. Did you notice the dog on the roof? 
 Dhaulagiri Icefall 
 Cirrus clouds form over
Dhaulagiri 
 Cirrus clouds form in the
highest and coldest region of the troposphere and are usually composed
of ice crystals.
