Annapurna: Marpha

Another stop on the Annapurna Circuit, Marpha's beautiful monastary makes it a destination for many people passing through. 

Annapurna: Tukuche

Our week-long village homestay was in Tukuche, between Niligiri and Dhaulagiri peaks on the Annapurna Circuit in Mustang District. With host siblings, we walked through the apple fields tucked into in the mountain between two major rivers. Despite howling wind and freezing temperatures, I took several starscapes from our roof.

Annapurna: Jomsom

A day-long bus ride and a 10 hour jeep ride on path generously called a road delivered us to Jomsom, the district headquarters of Mustang. We spent a day doing fieldwork beneath Mt. Nilgiri.

Kokhana

We spent International Women's Day doing field work in Kokhana, one of the oldest Newari villages just outside of Kathmandu. It was one of the most clear days so far.

Weekend in Nagarkot

Nagarkot is known for its panoramic views of the Himalayas. Although it was foggy during our weekend visit, the sun came out during our hike. Fresh air and good company are wonderful together.
