Annapurna: Not as Planned
Спорт
In October 2022, we set out from Pokhara to cycle the 386km Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. We followed the track that runs parallel to the hiking trail, hoping to cross over Thorong La pass. A late-season weather event delivered days of snow and rain, washed away roads and damaged communications. So despite all our preparation, things didn't quite go to plan...

Hands down one of the most beautiful photo/videography of the Annapurna circuit region and the adventure that you guys had . Loved your planning for the trip but the lesson learned here was we can’t fight Mother Nature. All in all , thorough adventure in its wildest form ❤

I love your attitude to go with the flow and appreciate the beauty of the world around you, sometimes to pause and listen. In the mountains, there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad attitude!🙂 Your film is beautifully shot, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

To be fair, on a mountain, there is "bad" weather, such as in "dangerous".

I organized a group hike to ABC right as the monsoon rains were starting. We got stuck in Kathmandu an extra night and almost missed the hike completely. With some perseverance, rain every day, and good attitudes we made the most of it and made it to ABC. While the views weren’t what we hoped for, there was a deep sense of accomplishment knowing that this might not have happened at all. Great video and another reminder to be thankful for the journey, and not just the destination.

not many would dare to do Annapurna circuit on bike credits and respect on that as well and damn the videography is soo good !!! it does justice to the real beauty of the circuit Nepal is such a wonderful country has so much to offer for tourism.
Plans are made to be changed. Kudos to you for not succumbing to "get-there-itis". Very cool adventure!

Beautifully crafted footage of a major adventure. Excellent voice-over - Danielle's description of the landslip section was amazingly restrained - this must have been pretty scary in both directions.
