Photographs of the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek (Part 5)

 

This photograph gallery contains lots of stunning and memorable photographs of the Annapurna range as we moved from Macchapurcharre Base Camp to Annapurna Base Camp in the snow, the highest point of the trek at about 4200 metres.

The photograph on the left was taken with my guide, Chhewang Sherpa on a small hill of the Annapurna Base Camp with snow capped Hiunchuli at the background.

 
 
 
It snowed for 6 hours at Macchapurcharre Base Camp the afternoon before we headed to Annapurna Base Camp. The journey to Annapurna Base Camp began early in the morning about in the deep snow
 
 
Taking a break, with Hiunchuli at the background Humans are just tiny specks (spot them ?) compared to the mighty Himalayan range
