Nepal Oct/Nov 2001

Complete the Annapurna Circuit trek. Approx 300km in 18 days.

Highlights - the whole trip - no phones, cars, hot water for 17 days - just eating, sleeping, hiking, having a ball - trip got me into fitness industry.

Lowlights - coming home... 😊 oh and eating 2 plates of pepper steak after eating vegetarian for 18 days... not a good idea. Kerosene soup and noodles... yech
