PHOTOS: ANNAPURNA SANCTUARY

Words don't do justice to the stunning beauty and random hilarity delivered by a hike through the Annapurna Sanctuary. For your viewing enjoyment, below are a few photos from the trek:
Some sheep Kip befriended on the trail.
View of the Annapurna peaks from Annapurna Base Camp at 13,549 feet. The strange lines of clouds high above the peaks are caused by high winds, we're told.
Liz with her soul sisters Nada and Sim at Annapurna Base Camp.
Some very camera shy Nepalese girls. They had a great time telling Kip all the English words they knew.
No chicken, pork, or buffalo meat beyond this point of the trail. Not a high point for us non-vegetarians.
Safety first? Not in this hot water shower, powered by a propane bottle and clear plastic tube that remain in the bathroom as you shower. Shockingly, we decided to pass on the gas.
Looking forward to buying some holes at this "hole sale" provision shop.
Considering there are only four lodges in Chhomrong, this sign seems a bit dated.
A herd of goats blocks the road on our ride back to Pokhara. Their horns are painted blue to identify them to their owners. On the dashboard of our car spins a solar-powered prayer wheel.
