Two weeks ago, during Tihar break, I drove to my hometown of Pokhara, on my way to a trek outside the city that I had never done in the past. I ended up with a nasty cough and cold, and holed up in the city trying to recover. I was hoping to fight the nuisance of the cold and hit the trail within 24-hours. But it wasn’t to be. I ended up spending four days in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things I did then — at sunrise and sunset — was to take some shots of the Annapurna Mountain Range, the most beautiful mountain range in the world, which makes the city of Pokhara what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following series were taken from Sarangkot, my favorite spot for taking photos of the mountains and viewing the events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only natural beauty fed the stomach as much as it does the soul…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
