We had always talked about doing the Annapurna Circuit. Hiking through the Himalayas for weeks, staying in local homes en route, and viewing legendary peaks on a daily basis seemed like a dream, but when we decided on a round-the-world honeymoon, we made it a priority. And the Circuit – as well as the rest of the country that we saw – lived up to our very high expectations. There is an innocence about the country – nestled between the superpowers of China and India – the Nepalese lead a simple political role and boast a rich culture, and maintain a paradise for hikers and adventurers alike.
