Trekking in the Himalayas

Good timers. I am in Nepal. I just came down from a 16-day trek in the Himalayas. Unbelievable. The trek I did is the Annapurna Circuit. It's starts at 760m and climbs over Thorung La Pass at 5416m. Distance was 300km. I don't think I need to say any more, so I will let my unworthy pics do the talking:

For my mountain biking friends. This must be the world's greatest rock ride. 1700m of glory







The views near the village of Marpha






A lone porter with a heavy load trekking to the village of Jomsom






Terraced rice fields at the beginning the trek, near Bahundanda








Prayer wheels and prayer flags. Village of Ngrawal






How I am expected to choose a few pics from the dozens that I have is beyond me, but these are the chosen ones for now.
