The circuit lies in central Nepal among the Annapurna mountain [...]
https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-2V5vLjz/A Once in a while I would come across some yak on my path while going around the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. Some of them were huge in size but would climb up some of the steepest slopes with such ease.
https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-4mMsgfc/A The town of Pokhara sits on the banks of Phewa lake in Nepal, the water is incredibly still all the time and makes for some great reflections of the mountains and clouds in the distance. The boats are used for fishing as well as transport as there are some rice fields at the far [...]
https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-W4x8XZB/A I stopped for lunch outside this building while trekking around the Annapurna circuit in Nepal. The vivid colours of the flowers and paint with a local dog having a rest on the steps made it look like a painting.

Suspended over Rapids https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-xhL7xBG/A One of the many suspension bridges I crossed in Nepal. Its fun to look down between the gaps and see the furiously fast flow of water far below you as the bridge bounces with each step.
Billy the kid https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-pCLSFVQ/A I was taking some pictures of this waterfall when all of a sudden this little kid comes out of nowhere and stands right in front of me, wondering what I was doing I suppose. Then I looked up at him and he gave a little baby goat bleat and headed [...]
Good Karma in the Himalayas https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-g3BhsV8/A These structures are all over the place in Nepal once you're up in the mountains.
