Annapurna base camp trek in Nepal

wsEventually its happening, Louis and Maud are going to Nepal. It's very quit in Rishikesh and there is hardly any work. So enough of a reason to go to see the heart of the Himalayas. a

After a 1000 km travel by train and bus, then crossing the border of India and Nepal, were we get a 15 day tourist visa, than again take a jeep (taxi) we arrive in the middle of the night in Pokhara.

Our mission is to make a trek into the Himalayas: to Annapurna south basecamp, 4130 mtr. Neither Louis and me have ever walked so high up. We make the choice not to hire a mountainguide since we have a good detailed map. We think we will manage without.....Were packed lite: thermo underwear, waterproofs, a waterbottle and a sleepingback.
a
The trek is absolutely great, first we see a lot of the traditional Nepali lifestyle when we pass their small villages. Everything is really clean and smells fresh. We spend the nights in thea houses, where we rent a small room. Every morning we get up early (around 6/7) to start walking. Nepali people are very very friendly, and we are truly amazed by them.
a
After four days of walking and climbing we reached the Annapurna Base Camp, which lies totally in the snow. Beeing at basecamp we are surrounded by 6000 -7000 meter high mountains, absulutely great vieuws form the Theahouse were we staying. We are very lucky with the weather, sunny and crisp.
a
I'ts very cold around 4130 mtr, so we go to bed at 18.00, becouse otherwise your freezing, even inside. The next day we start walking downhill also on our way back we see some great vieuws. Around 2000 mtr it starts to get warmer again so we get rid of some layers. I'm very impressed with my footwear: a pair of Inov8 goretex shoes (Rocklite 290), light and watertight. Perfect for this trek.

After week of walking we are back in Pokhara, Louis and me had a great holiday and were happy to spend this time into the Himalayas in Nepal.

Yesterday we started traveling again back to Rishikesh/India, unfortunately it took us 30 hours for 1000 km distance, my god!
But eeeh....thats India!!!!

 

Next time more about Louis his first descent in India,

Wow what a trip, it will seem like a distant memory soon though. Over 30 , unskilled and unemployed, living with your parents. I guess that is the price you pay for the 'beach bum lifestyle' smilies/smiley.gif
