Manang trek - on route - overland 1985

            Monsoon lingered in Nepal in September 1985. It was wet and hot walking the famous Annapurna Circuit trail. Until we reached the backside of the Annapurna massif - no more rains and a cooler, drier climate. It was harvest time in the fabled Manang Valley - sheltered by huge mountains, it was a pocket of a peculiar Tibetan tribe and their culture. Here just after the village of Tal we were walking in the deep Marsyandi river gorge. Just before a heavy rainfall started a Tibetan horse was peacefully grazing on our path.

At that time there were no roads to Manang valley and it took a week of walking to reach the rain shadow. That has changed and it has changed the lives in the valley forever.

The picture was originally photographed on Fujichrome slide film with my Nikon FE2 camera and 50mm lens. I photographed the slide by bracketing it with a Nikon D600 camera and enhanced the picture in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz.
