14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Path to Machhapuchhre

It was taken on our hiking trip to the foothills of the Annapurna Himalayas in Nepal. We stayed in a little teahouse and I walked out to see the path we will have to take. When I saw I instantly fell in love with the place. The path guided my eye towards the majestic mountain, Machhapuchhre (or Fishtail Mountain) the peak nobody ever climbed. The locals believe it is a sacred mountain.
