Entry from: Annapurna Circuit, Nepal Entry Title: “3 week trek in Nepal’s Himalayas” Entry: “We hired an experienced gent named Krishna – a porter/guide from Asahi Treks and Expeditions – to help with translation and to carry our main pack. The peak altitude on the Annapurna Circuit trek is at 5416m which we expect will present some very good challenges… It’s a very well travelled route, and we will be finding food and shelter every night in tea houses etc. Not sure if able, but will try to send some updates from the trek (apparently there is a 5 star resort about 2 weeks in!) Here’s a Rough map of the area from yetizone.com _______________________________________ _____________________ Post trip report… The Annapurna Circuit was a spectular trek that exceeded our expectations. We loved the challenge of seeing how our body would respond to the challenge of sleeping and trekking at high altitude. Although a popular route (the most popular in Nepal), I didn’t feel that it was commercial or overcrowded (except at Thorong La, where there’s only 2 guesthouses).

I gained one beard, lost ten pounds and had the experience of a lifetime. It is hard to put into words the awesomeness of the high mountain scenery and the sense of freedom and inspiration that comes from that type of adventure. We found the people to be as amazing as the scenery and really enjoyed getting to know locals and other trekkers along the way. Suffice it to say that we’re doing all we can to work out how to return in the spring for another go at it! Being on the trail for eighteen days established a simple and freeing daily rhythm. It is very liberating to think about nothing beyond walking, eating and sleeping. I found myself feeling more clear-minded and energized each day and for the first time in a long time rising with the sun at 5:30am and in bed by 8. The physical challenge of walking (mostly uphill) for eight hours each day, as well as the increase in altitude, added to this sense of focus and we found ourselves excited and pleased by how fit we felt throughout the trek. The Annapurna trek is the most popular in Nepal and sees nearly 60000 visitors annually. The trek is so popular because it is a loop (and therefore doesn’t require …
