Big Mountains!

We just finished an 18 day trek around the Anipurna Range in the central Nepali Himalayas and it was incredible. The mountains are bigger than we could imagine. It's something when you are standing at 5400m and the mountains are still towering over you! Here are a couple of photos, we will create some albums on the Picasa page soon.

The view from our teahouse in Manang Village at night.

After a 5:00am departure from high camp we headed for Thorung La pass through the snow.

After 3 hrs hiking we reached the world's "Largest Mountain Pass" still not sure what that means but it was beautiful. In the photo is Colin, Patti, Nim (guide) and Rham (porter) we couldn't have made without either of those two.
Day 16 or so, another early morning walk to the top of Poon Hill to see the sunrise over the mountain range.
