VF, lovely photos as always (although I'll keep my opinion of people who'll travel to kill exotic animals to myself). One question - when were those buildings put up at Annapurna Base Camp? Had the privilege of walking up to there in 1979 and nothing permanent was established then.

Namaste Thud & Blunder, will agree with You totally on the animal hunters :E small consolation :rolleyes: it is Nepal's only Hunting reserve :{
Hunting Animals « Nepal Hunting Safari Some Annapurna South Base Camp lodges & permanent dwellings are a there a good few years now, maybe 10?

Awesome pics, VF!! Keep them coming and fly safe!!
bondu :ok::D |
Namaskar, VF, and dhanyabad(sp?) for the comprehensive reply. I'm glad I didn't have to carry any of those building materials up there on foot, mind!
