The Path

It is not easy to trek at the mountain treks in Annapurna Sanctuary. A stone path like this is considered as comfortable to walk on. On the way, the local porters especially the old people, iregardless of man or woman, mostly are walking on the trek with full load and bare footed.

 
At the beginning, the treks were more gentle. Can be relaxed to stroll on the trek at the same time admire the scenery.
May be you though to walk up a steep steps like this is tough and walking down is no problem. I can tell you it is equally tough when you have to walk down 3800 steps in one shot!

 
Never ending stone steps, one after another. It may be nice to have a sun-tan under the sun, but to climb up thousand of the stone steps like this under the hot sun is no joke.
There will not be always a ready make stone steps for you to climb all the way, many slopes are like this for you to climb alone the way. In the monsoon season, this slope will turn to a river or waterfall.
