A common sight along the Annapurna Circuit: a group of mules weighed down with everything from cement sacks to beer. Notice the colorful, woven head decorations. These are tough animals. Taken on the way from Dharapani to Timang on the fourth day of our Annapurna Circuit trek. Read more about our Annapurna Circuit trek. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
This mule takes the "I'm standing perfectly still so maybe you won't see me" pose right in front of the Tourist Check Post in the village of Dharapani. Check posts are scattered across a handful of villages around the Annapurna Circuit in order to track foreign trekkers and to ensure that whoever goes into the circuit actually comes out safely. Taken on day three of our Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal. Read more about our Annapurna Circuit trek. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
