hiking the Annapurna Circuit

We flew from Katmandu to Pokhara, Nepal for a 5 day trek in the Annapurna Circuit. Our trip was arranged through Three Sisters, a female owned, operated, and managed trekking company. We had 6 porters and one guide with us.
I don't think that my words will accurately convey the beauty - so I will let my pictures do the talking.
The following shots are from the third day -we began at 3:00am in order to ascend Poon Hill in time to watch the sunrise. It was an absolutely magical moment as the sun set the peaks on fire, breathing life, color, and possbility into hearts and minds.
