Mountain Life on the Annapurna Circuit

Along the rugged trekking route between Jagat and Bagarchhap, domestic goats roam freely through this remote Himalayan settlement. The animals, essential to local subsistence farming, graze on sparse vegetation clinging to the steep mountainside.

Towering rock cliffs rise dramatically from the valley floor, where a river carves through the landscape. Simple stone buildings and colorful tarps mark the temporary shelters of trekkers and locals alike.
