Nepal 2–Lauren ABC Trek day 1-3

Annapurna Base Camp here we come! We started the trek on Friday with a jeep ride from Pokhara, about 1.5 hours. We walked an hour and a half, lunched, and walked a couple hours more. It was really hot and pretty steep. We were all grateful to made it to Tikhedunga. We stayed in a simple guest house with a shared bathroom (almost all will be like that) surrounded by jungle and the sound of the river. No outlets in the room, leeches in the grass, but a filling dinner, fun conversations and a good night.

Saturday, we took a jeep ride to skip a really steep section, and then walked another 3 hours to Ghorepani. Much cooler weather, the best Tibetan bread, and both outlets and private toilets in our rooms!

Today, some of our group woke up at 4:30 to walk an hour up to Poon Hill for the sunrise. The sky was clear and the view perfect! Worth the sweat. Then we split ways after breakfast. Mimi and Papa left for home, the kids got on ponies to keep trekking fun, and the rest of us walked about 5 more hours to Tadapani. Hard but so pretty. We are on stone paths most of the time winding up and down hills to get around to the backside of Annapurna. We actually went down more than up today, but we still went up plenty!Читать далее
