I spent 5 glorious
weeks in Nepal in November 2001. It was on the bus ride between
Sonwadi & Pokhara that I saw my first snow covered mountains
- the Annapurna Himals. What a sight and how glorious they were.
I trekked in the Annapurna Sanctuary going up to the Tibetan plateau
at Muktinath and the Annapurna Base camp, where in a valley, you
are surrounded with towering snow covered peaks. It was like standing
on top of the world.
Pokhara was the perfect
place to relax after the trek. And going to Kathmandu felt like
entering the real world again. Like India, I am counting the days
until I can return for another dose... with my camera.
