| Every day around 10:30 the cooks and kitchen boys would start preparing lunch. Here we are a couple hundred feet above the last bridge over the Jhargeng Khola, about 14,000 feet. Soon we will go around the corner to reach Thorong Phedi, at the foot of the pass, and lose these great views of Annapurna III. But in this sheltered spot, the Annapurna massif looms above, as the hiss of the pressure-cookers rises from below. Photo by John Cordes, 21 November 1997. |
