You start before dawn at Sarangkot, the ridge that throws the Annapurna range into sharp silhouette while the Pallid light eases across Fewa Lake. Cold air nudges your breath as the first peaks — Annapurna, Machapuchare (Fishtail) — lift into view; the silence is punctured by the occasional motorbike and the low murmur of other early risers.
