New roads are being built now which has changed the nature of this trek but the views are still amazing The elevation begins around 850 meters and continues to climb as the days go by to ov http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-788742.html The last part of our trek was generally pretty awesome. We spent a couple of rest days in Manang at about 3500m from there it was 3 days up and over the Thorung La pass at 5400m or just short of 18000 feet. The scenery was stunning environment steadily got drier the further we went near the top was effectively a rocky desert but with glaciers all around. It was pretty Baltic at nights gettin http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-788382.html Hi allFew more photos of the last week of trekking blog chat to follow. DK http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-787979.html Catch up on some trekking photos http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-787904.html Day 16Muktinath to Jomsom The landscape changed dramatically and it became very arid. The villages looked very green though like oasis in the middle of the desert. Instead of walking this part of the trail many people opt to take jeeps but it39s worth doing it especially if one has the time. A lot of times guides will tell their customers that the road is full of traffic dust everywhere a http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-786796.html Day 10I set off to Tilicho Lake. I walked the 2 hours from Manang to Khangsar and I thought I would be staying there but when I got to the place I didn39t like it at all. I had seen in a rough map outside the village that there were other places to stay in past the village so I decided to keep on going. I was feeling very tired that day and did not feel like walking at all. The next place I http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-786609.html I did the Annapruna circuit in just over 3 weeks. I took my time and did a few side treks as well. So it wouldn39t be too long and tedious I broke it up in 3 posts1. Besishahar Manang.2. Manang Thorong La including Tilicho Lake.3. Muktinath Pokhara. I wrote about the trek on a daily basis including some general information but also personal experiences.At the end of the third post http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-786430.html Hi all We39ve now met many people in our time in Nepal based on this we can confidently say that we39re the tallest and whitest people in the country.We appreciate that we39re very lucky with this trip for any of you who were jealous here39s something for you a description of the Nepali bus experience. You39re told it will take 6 hours it takes 9. Imagine a mediumsized sauna http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-785701.html D12 Thorung Phedi to Muktinath 3760mThere were no doubts that it was going to be a difficult day not only it would be a pretty long one as we were waking up at 3am and were supposed to be walking 9 hours that day but also it would be quite challenging altitudewise as first we had to climb 1000m to ThorungLa Pass and then descend 1700m all the way to Muktinath. Quite a difference in al http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-785007.html D7 Chame to Lower Pisang 3200mA new year was starting that day in Nepal and it looked like from one day to the other I have aged quite a bit as they were celebrating year 2070 Hindu calendar So officially I became a granny 90yearold granny for that matter Still it didnt seem like there were going to be any celebrations taking place around here. I asked Prem whether peopl http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-784776.html D1 Kathmandu to BandipurJust like on the Everest Base Camp trek my Annapurna Circuit trek started with an organisational meeting the day before. Again the majority of people in my group were Aussies 5 out of 9 add to it an American Chinese German and a Pole that would be me of course and you get quite a mixture of nationalities and cultures. Looked like a nice bunch of people from the http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-784526.html Jeah wieder zurck in der Zivilisation D Ich hab heute frh schon was geschrieben war dann aber von den Feierlichkeiten gestern Abend wegen 13 in der Diplomarbeit nicht so ganz in der Lage... also hier nochmal ein updateZusammenfassend kann ich sagen das Wandern hat mir wirklich groen Spa gemacht Sascha und ich wollten an unsere Grenzen kommen und das haben wir auch beide geschaf http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-782974.html Frostbitten in Nepal Trekking the Annapurna Circuit in JanuaryRight.

It39s called the Annapurna Circuit because it evolves around the Annapurna chain of mountains which comprises of few top 10 peaks in the world. In Nepalese standards anything below 6000m is a hill anything above deserves the right to be described as a mountain. So ladies and gentlemen in Europe we do not have any mountains http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-773975.html Nepal Malaysia og Thailand 20121011 tog vi Sofie Lene og jeg til Nepal for at g en lang tur i Annapurnaregionen og her er lidt billeder.Sren http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-771111.html Our arrival in Kathmandu was a shock to the senses Swarms of people cars blearing their horns with no regard to the road rules minivan 39buses39 with people squeezed in like sardines in a can and livestock wandering the busy streets. Luckily our hostel for 2 nights was a lovely oasis from the hustle and bustle of the streets which gave us a bit of time to acclimatise to all the noise an http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-765862.html ltdl classdropdowncgtltdt id2ddheadergt Nepalltdtgtltdlgtltdl classdropdowncgtltdt id3ddheadergt Tibetltdtgtltdlgtltdl classdropdowncgtltdt id4ddheadergt BhutanltdtgtltdlgtHomecompanytravelers info terms conditionfaqstestimonialsEnquirycontactWELCOME TO ADVENTURE DISCOVERY Treks Expeditions..

It is also known as Tharpu Chuli. Tent peak is one of the most climbed peaks in Nepal. This trip also allows you the make a complete exploration of Annapurna sanctuary. The summit of the tent peak offers a panoramic view of surrounding Annapurna massif.

This peak climbing can be combined with the Annapurna circuit trek to make a very satisfying Himalayan trek and climbing adventure in a single trip. The climbing of Pisang peak is not considered a difficult one however it is a high peak with considerable slope. Thus we cant oversimplify it.The Pisang p http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Nepal/Annapurna/Annapurna-Circuit/blog-751163.html
