  • Beneath the snow-capped peak of Machapuchare (or Machhaphuchhare), otherwise known as the Fishtail, plus other peaks in this Himalayan Himal landscape, we see a group of Nepali locals chatting on low seats outside a home in the town of Pokhara, Nepal. The friends have a roughly-constructed dwelling that uses breeze bocks and concrete and we see a future attempt to make a first story extension. Machapuchare is revered by the local population as particularly sacred to the god Shiva and is therefore off limits to climbing. It’s at the end of a long spur ridge, coming south out of the main backbone of the Annapurna Himal, that forms the eastern boundary of the Annapurna Sanctuary and the peak is about 25km north of Pokhara, the main town of the region.

  • Lit by early sun that filters through mountain peaks to this remote village near Ulleri, in the Himalayan foothills, Nepal, we see the veranda of a tea shop that serves weary travellers trekking the Annapurna Circuit and traditional doko basket. Villages such as these partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary, a sometimes gruelling walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak - and beyond. Tea houses are dotted along the trail offering lodging, refreshments and basic, but delicious food to the weary traveller and the landscapes are often shared with local livestock.
