Annapurna Trek - Day Seven - Base Camp!

Day Seven - Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 metres) - 900 metre ascent

Today was the final day of ascent as we went from Deurali to Machapuchare Base Camp and then on to Annapurna Base Camp. Whilst only a steady ascent which would take 4 hours, it was hard work due to the altitude and thin air.

Starting the day we seemed miles from the mountains but they slowly became visible until we finally entered into a cauldron of mountains.

Tea
Well deserved tea at MBC... extra suger before the final ascent.

One Hour to Go
Time on the rock as we depart MBC.

Break
Taking a break.

Frozen Stream
Nearly all the streams were completely or mostly frozen in the morning. They mostly thaw during the day once the sun has hit them for a while.
