the Annapurna/ part four

Same day, we had to make 1400 altitude meters down. Aa lot work on the knees. But the views, were worth everything! We celebrated that day with beer, good food and whiskey. On that side it was clearly autumn. The trees were covered, with golden leafs.




On the way down we often heard men singing, but we couldnt see them, and were wondering, what it was about. When we were wandering around a village we found it out: Farmers on the fields were controling their bullocks with the singing. When they sung the refrain of the songs the bullocks made an u-turn.

some of the small villages on the way down...

there are many places where you find those colorful prayerflags...

The entrance to the kingdom of Mustang.
In the year 2000 you had to pay entrance fee: 700 us dollar for ten days. You were forced to go with an official travelagency. We decided not to go.
