Nepal (Annapurna Round Trek - 3 of 3)

Day 5 - Trekker ghost village enroute to Pisang
Welcome to Pisang
The 'underground momo'
Making riceballs for the rain monks

Upper Pisang

busting rocks...

resting for snapshots...
heading heavy loads...
poundin' the clay...
sculptin' buddhas...
painting the trim...
and gettin' yelled at by 'the boss'..

Goodbye
Me and the 'Rain King'

Lower Pisang - Room view
The magnificent Annapurna II during sunrise
