Caption: Welcome to the final part of day trekking the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal.
We would be descending to the town of Manang. Anticipating some days of rest ahead. First though we had beautiful scenery, yaks & altitude to enjoy…
Picture
Caption: We left behind the high trail and big views to descend down through sparse woodlands.

Caption: The villages we passed through were bold blasts of colour set against the barren mountain environment.

Caption: Ngawel was full of bold colours and was the first of several villages before Manang.

The shade, a coke and some noodles was the perfect rest and refuel.

Caption: As we reached the valley there was more sign of activity on the road. Manang is a bit of a hub for people before crossing the pass.
