Caption: Our 6th day trekking the Annapurna Circuit and we had the first steep climb ahead of us that would split the day into two parts.
Leaving Upper Pisang we would be taking the trail that switched back and forth in continued ascent up to Ghyaru.
As tough as it was, every second was still enjoyable and there was always a chance to rest, take in the view and make some photos.....

Caption: I’m not sure if this was a gompa or an old prayer wheel site but it was amazing how many stones, many decorated with messages were placed here

Caption: Stay hydrated folks, even the horses were smarter than me as I definitely didn’t take on enough water and would regret that later in the day

Day 6 I took so many photos and the day felt so varied that I thought its best to split this story in a couple of parts.
Thanks for stopping by. Plenty more stories from Nepal on my profile @dan_scape
