Annapurna VIII

This is a Yak herders town, essentially a collection rock buildings for Yak herders to stay in with the Yaks from what I can tell.

The Yaks.

The same Yaks.

Yak town in the background, Yak in the foreground, compositional magic if you ask me.

We met the sisters again, this time at their other store... the highest tea shop in the world... it's not actually, that would be the one at Throng La pass.

The view to the south.

I've been looking for the eagles for a long time, since the beginning of my trek. This is as close as I got.

This guy spends the trekking season hanging out here in his tent, his horse grazing the hill behind him. He sells drinks, snacks, hash and cocoon things which are dug from the ground. They are considered very valuable, how valuable you ask... well two people from a different village were beaten to death because they were digging for these things around the town of Manang.
