Hike the Annapurna Circuit

“By Jagat we passed a truly massive Pass where people were hammering away on the rock face with chisels and hammers in the effort to construct a road. It felt like a scene from an ancient explorer movie as we walked the 4 foot wide pass rocks tumbling down into the raging aqua marine colored river, several thousand feet below us.”

“When I reached Chame, it was a ghost town. It was also bitterly cold even at 11 am. There was also no sunlight in the area and I definitely didn’t feel like I wanted to stay there, even if a guesthouse or two was open so I decided to walk 2 kilometers back to Koto where the people were warm and the town was also sunny.”

“Ice capped mountains began to become larger and more majestic as we continued out forested assent. We trudged up high narrow ledge passes that reminded me of Indiana Jones movies. It was fantastic, though as we reached Timang Besi by 5pm I was feeling quite tired. The sun was setting and the mountains were taking on there pink shades of fantastic colors.”
