Thought I would post some images of Nepal. Svea and I spent about 2 weeks hiking there and saw amazing things. Let me try to share them with you - in no specific order.
Svea and I would walk after we settled into our guest house - somewhere along the Anapurna loop trail |
Some of the building styles along the trail |
Suspended bridges allowed me to overcome a fear of heights with Svea's encouragement |
Stuppas seemed a common theme for villages along the way. Spirituality is very important to the Nepalese. |
Beautiful stonework |
These men and women were carrying easily their weight in plastic piping. They reminded me of energetic leaf-cuttter ants on a human scale. |
One of the rivers we followed and a hint of mountains in the background |
Prayer wheels spun through each village |
We walked along the trail that 1000 people had created for tourists like us. Amazing! |
I goof around with a sherpa's load. There is no way that my North American body could handle what these people carried. |
Patch of blue sky and some boards waiting to be delivered to a construction project somewhere. Much of the construction in the mountains was of wood, even cedar, which made us feel at home. |
Sometimes the trail was a road, but the monsoon rains and slides closed several roads while we were there. Donkeys and people are the local beasts of burden. |
Two boys share chips |
Prayer flags at the entrance to Manang |
Wild flowers kept me interested as I walked along the roadway |
Typical view |
The new and the old. The curved architecture of the old bridge is lacking in the new efficient bridge. |
Yes we tried Yak cheese and it was delicious! |
