Nobody want to read a florid description of another persons holiday. So here's a photoblog that'll hopefully tell the story a bit better. |
Morning view from Raniban Retreat above Pokhara |
Sun rises over the Peace Pagoda |
A boat ride away, Lakeside in Pokhara town |
Paragliding above Lake Phewa on New Years Eve |
Kat (I think) - looking for a thermal in the lake |
Spiralling upwards with massive Egyptian Vultures |
Above Sarangkot |
A break for nuts on the way up to Annapurna Base Camp |
Annapurna South (left) and Machapuchare (right) as the sun set in Chongqing halfway up to the base camp (middle) |
Kat intrepidly leaving Machapuchare Base Camp on day 4. The sun was just hitting Annapurna South up ahead |
Kat... praying presumably... |
7,000 and 8,000 metre peaks in all directions |
Heading down a bit light headed and very very chilly |
AVALANCHE!!! eeek |
Making rice noodles in Ghandruk (pot noodles are easier...) |
A day's rest, eating rice noodles mostly. |
Euphoric... shortly before getting lost in the mountainside... |
Back in Pokhara |
A lovely couple of days' rest and (and home cooking) in Furse Khola Farmhouse with Douglas |
A quick visit to Pashtupatinath in Kathmandu before Kat flew out |
Looks awesome. Difficult to view in this small window, though... x SIL
