The peaks come into view on the trail of the Annapurna Sanctuary trek.

Farther up the Sanctuary trail, a view of the holy mountain, Machapuchre.
(This is the only major peak in Nepal of which climbers have not reached the summit - they are forbidden to do so.)

A rarely viewed peak, taken from a ridge high above the trail on the back side of the Annapurna Circuit trek.

A view of Mount Pumori from a ridge high above the trail of the Everest trek.

The most recognizable summit on earth.
(No picture can do it justice.)
