Spectacular view

After days of trekking through rhododendron forests, stone-paved villages, and along icy rivers, I finally stood at 4,130 meters — Annapurna Base Camp.Surrounded by a fortress of giants — Annapurna I, Machapuchare, Hiunchuli — I felt impossibly small yet deeply connected. The early morning sun lit the peaks in a golden glow, as if the mountains themselves were waking up.
