Day 12 - Annapurna Circuit - Muktinath (3710m)

---

Today we thought we deserved a rest. As if the hangover wasn’t enough of an excuse there were many temples and stupas around the area that we wanted to see and our bodies were beginning to feel worn out. We had a lazy morning and moved to another hostel “Bob Marley” as the place we stayed had no hot water and we were in desperate need of a hot shower. Tommy and Jaap soon joined us, said bye to Pilu and Alberto as they were headed to Pokhara and set off on an explore. We visited a monastery that still was functioning and saw many pilgrims walking around the stupa clockwise and blessing themselves from the fountain of holy water. We saw a HUGE black Buddha statue overlooking the view of mountains and the valley below. It was a real pleasure also to be walking around sightseeing without the backpack on for the first time! The rest of the day we spent chilling out, reading and eating........then Jack ate some more!
