Lazarow World-Hike-About

Jen captures color, reflections...doesn't get better for a simple scene. Well, let's move on but one has to love the calmness of the water.   The day after the tough climb to Rupacot Peak and Resort, we headed down from our accommodation through villages, past a school and to ground/lake level in the village of Begnas. We have been up-and-down the main road a few times, but nothing beats going on jungle paths. We made the discovery recently.    We reached the 'town' area and headed to and past the lake, up the mountain on the other side of the lake and along the top until we reached an end. We stopped for brunch and thereafter, discovered a couple of other places. We headed down, returned through the villages and up along the jungle path which took us back home. As always, we dealt with many 'kids', cute humans and cheeky goats. Actually, the humans can be quite cheeky, too.    Lovely walk , a lovely time was had. Thereafter, we completed daily routine...

Enroute we absorb this scene of Fewa Lake. A little climbing to keep the legs stretched. Carrying on a little further per opening photograph and target reached. Now let's find our way down. Meantime, Jen taking care of her back reluctantly takes the low road but arrives at the same place. At rear, is village of Sarangkot atop the peak viewed from yet another angle/position. Let's view the lake and backdrop from a different position. On a distant peak across the lake sits Lord Shiva at his temple, a frequent hike (for us, not him). This occasion we'll reach for the sky via the unusual clouds and hopefully get our hands on Machapuchare Peak. We continue upwards and discover another surmountable hill. The challenge is presented. From there we attain a different perspective of Machapuchare Peak. They're all spectacular. I'm stuck on the hill; so Jen takes advantage of my absence and goes after the local 'macho hero'. He certainly has big...

From a room with a view. A walk through the jungle to get there. Sun sets on Fewa Lake, still light for much of the city. Earlier, the Annapurna Range struggled to find air and light; now it's lost sight of Fewa Lake. We awake to the action below our window. Clouds begin to scatter in the morning. The scatter continues, revealing wonderful sights. Sunset on the mountains. Early morning flyers grab access to magnificent views. On the way to paradise. Early morning freshness seems to rise from the water. Simply: We love the view, the sight. A person knows he/she has arrived. Arriving at Shiva Temple, making our way around to the entrance to formally greet the 'chief'. A full frontal with Annapurna in the background. Our waiter grabs a camera and spends two minutes showing off his style with the gadget. Two views from the temple. Color protrudes clouding.                         ...
