Dhauligiri, Anapurna Region, Nepal

In this part of Nepal the "roads" are mountain trails. I found the absence of internal combustion engines to be very refreshing. Other than the occasional yak train we only shared the path with other walkers. On this day we passed through small villages and terraced fields in rhodendron forests as clouds drifted overhead.
