Annapurna Base Camp

The past 10 days have been incredible. Lots of up and down on challenging trails up into the Annapurna Sanctuary. We took 6 days to get to Annapurna base camp at 4130m and 4 days to come back down. Have met many great trekkers from Britain, Korea, Japan, Israel and New Caledonia as well as a very nice couple from Nelson in BC.

I am in Pokhara for a rest day today and catching up on e-mail and then return to Kathmandu Sunday, March 14 in time to meet my group who arrive late evening. I can't wait to see their first impressions of this wonderful and crazy place.

As usual the people are great, good food (all vegetarian) and my little via starbucks coffee packets have kept me full of caffeine! I cannot upload any photos for a bit so stay tuned. The group will have 2 days to get their legs in Kathmandu and then we take a 8 hour bus ride to Dhunche to start our trek.

More when we get back.
Namaste,
Neil
