The Beauty of a Himalaya Monsoon











Who is it who said that "You cannot have paradise without rain"?

During our descent from Annapurna Base Camp, my guide and I trekked in rain for three days. Sometimes we walked in the mist of fog or cloud. It simply enhanced the beauty of an already spectacular ecosystem of mosses, bamboo, rhododendron, pines and mountain flowers. I was in awe and I repeatedly muttered "how beautiful this is"! Why be bummed out by having to wear rain gear when the trade-off is what you see in these photos?
