Day 6, Friday, Rest day in Manang (3540m)
Today we finally had the opportunity to catch up on our sleep and did not have to face the hassle of packing our bags anxiously before breakfast.
Around 8 am we headed for a nearby mountain to climb to about 3900m in order to acclimatise and prepare for our trek on the next day to Yak Kharka (4018m).
Day 5, Thursday, Pisang to Manang (3540m)
Today we had a five hour trek ahead of us. Although it was only a 300m rise in altitude, the trek would prove to be one of the most strenuous to date.
The day started with a steep climb, offering some spectacular views over the Pisang valley once we reached the top. We then trekked back down into the next valley where we had a tea break in the village of Humde.
Day 3, Tuesday, Tal to Chame
We started our day in the village of Tal (1700m) at 6 am. After a delicious porridge and omelet breakfast we left the guesthouse to head towards Chame (2700m). The 22km trek began with a stroll along the river side which rapidly turned into a high energy mountain trek. The group eventually split into two and we had to decide which one to follow.
Day 2, Monday, Ngadi to Tal
Our day began with a 6 am banana porridge breakfast at our guesthouse in Ngadi. We left to trek at 7 am with 21km and a 1000m rise in altitude ahead of us. The view of the Annapurna mountain range was spectacular. The clear blue skies posed a perfect setting to a great day.
Namaste Nepal!
After our exciting journey through India, we arrived safely in Nepal (in Kathmandu) on 23.July. Tomorrow (28 July) we commence our 17-day Annapurna Circuit Trek in the Himalaya. The highest point on our trek will be the famous Thoroung-La-Pass at 5416m. (more…)
After a wonderful day at the Taj Mahal, we took an overnight train to Varanasi. Varanasi is located on the banks of the river Ganges in Uttar Pradesh. It is the holiest of seven sacred cities in Hinduism and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. The city houses an endless amount of temples and shrines and is famous for its many ghats (steps that lead to the river Ganges). It is also the burial site of many Hindus as they believe that death at Varansi brings salvation. (more…)
The Taj Mahal – a symbol of eternal love.
On the 21st July (Crizzy’s 24th Birthday, whoop whoop) we took an early morning train (7am) from Jaipur to Agra. To our surprise the CC (Chair Coach) train offered a complimentary breakfast with tea, water, cookies, bread and indian food. A great start to the day! (more…)
We arrived in Jaipur by train late at night on 19 July following a hectic day in Pushkar. Jaipur, founded in 1727, is the capital of Rajasthan and has a population of roughly 3 million (an average size in India). Jaipur is also known as the “Pink City” due to the pinkish colour of the buildings in the city center. (more…)
