I embarked on a trek to the Annapurna Sanctuary, the base of a number of Himalayan peaks. The first part of the trek was an endless series of stairs-

Stairs that climbed through rhodedendron forests-

And occasionally took me to really dodgy bridges to cross rivers-

Which brought me to more stairs to climb-

Through terraced rice fields-

And into quaint towns with guesthouses to rest and recover from the day's stairs-

Where I would awake to amazing views of the peaks I was trying to reach-

That would provide the day's motivation to go out and climb more freaking stairs-
