The Annapurna Sanctuary route is one of The 5 Best Treks in Nepal. Matt Scott takes us along for the journey, through the lens. 
Trekking towards mountains
The ten-day trek begins in the cloud forest before heading into the high mountains.
Goods carried on the Annapurna Sanctuary trail
With no road access, all goods for the lodgings on route must be carried up by porters.
Mountain outhouse, Nepal
Lodging, teahouses, and toilets are plentiful along the route, but don’t expect luxury.
Local Nepalese woman
Locals, who mostly survive on farming or tourism, share the trail with trekkers.
Hiking in the valley
With three days of the walk mostly following a valley route, it’s not as hard going as you might expect.

There are no shortage of photo opportunities, but electricity is scarce -- bring extra batteries.Editor's note: This shot was a finalist in one of the many photo contests over at Matador Goods.

Hiking between mountains reaching up to almost 8,000m gives incredible views.
