8,167m. & other surrounding peaks.
The unbelievably beautiful Khobra
Ridge - somewhere between Heaven and
Earth- known by the knowing to have
some of the most awe-inspiring
mountain views our planet can
supply. Annapurna South (7219m.) and
Baraha Shikhar (7647m.) are in the
foreground, with the peaks of the
Nilgiri away towards Mustang and
westward to the hulk of Dhaulagiri
where later the sun will set.
Hiking past lakes formed by the
glaciers and icefalls of Annapurna
South, which towers above,
perception and time subtly shift and
it feels as though one is a pioneer
to a completely different planet.
We'll stop to rest at the mysterious
Khairbaraha Lake, a place of
pilgrimage with its lone
stone-piled, usually mist-shrouded,
temple to lord Shiva. Rising above,
the wall and summit of Annapurna
South is so close it strains the
neck muscles
