Annapurna Circuit – Chyamje to Pisang
The valley walls close in above Tal (1,675m), with the roar of the Marsyangdi amplifying off the sheer walls
A mother and baby enjoying the sun at Karte remind me of my own family back in New Zealand
One of a series of swing bridges spanning the Marsyangdi Khola. This one near Dharapani
After a solid day’s walking, the hot springs at Latamanang (2,400m) are a welcomed interlude
Approaching Kotho (2,550m), one of numerous small villages on the trail – a perfect spot for breakfast, with a fine view of Manaslu
My host at Kotho - not only friendly, but a great cook too
A porter labours in the morning sun below Chame
Locals greet me as I enter Chame (2,630m)

Above Chame, a portion of the trail is hewn from solid vertical cliff faces – very spectacular to tread and vastly easier than trying to follow the broken path of the Marsyangdi Khola below
Climbing through oak and rhododendron forests towards Teluku (2,775m)
Bleak snowfall at dusk in lower Pisang (3,200m). In April the weather can change quickly and dramatically
