Hiking up to the Thorong-La Pass on the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal was one of the most difficult days of our 12 day trek. We were both feeling a bit loopy from the altitude, and I had been battling a little headache since the night before, which was creating a bunch of stress about whether I was going to suffer the consequences of altitude sickness before I managed to make it to the top of the pass. We were so immersed in our own thoughts that it took a while for us to notice that the thick fog that we’d been hiking through for the last hour was no longer surrounding us. We turned around and realized that we’d broken through the clouds and could finally see some of the peaks behind us. We had just a few minutes of this view before the clouds rose up and obscured the views again. It was a good reminder to stop every once in a while and take a look at the majesty that surrounded us.

Nice shot. Glad you turned around! Hopefully you’re feeling all better now. Sounds like it.
Feeling 100% better, thanks 🙂
This view is stunning – great photo and congratulations on completing that tough hike! So would you recommend it??
I would definitely recommend it! It was pretty challenging for us, partly because we carried our own stuff (if we ever go back to do it again, we’ll get a porter for sure) but we got in shape fast!
You two are my heros. Such beauty!!!!!!
Thanks! It was easily some of the best scenery we’ve seen on our trip.
