Completing the Circuit: days 11-12

On November 6, 2018November 6, 2018 By ValarieIn Asia, Nepal5 Comments

The western side of the Annapurna circuit is desolate and windy. The trail has been replaced with a busy road full of Jeeps, motorcycles and mini busses. On day eleven I was still quite ill, so we took a bus from Muktinath to Jomson. It is a good thing we didn't try to walk, because …

Crossing Thorung La, Days 9-10 of the Annapurna circuit

On November 2, 2018November 4, 2018 By ValarieIn Nepal6 Comments

Brrrr it is getting cold already! The teahouses don't have much insulation so we sit in our rooms bundled up just as much as we would be if we were sitting outside. Right now I am in the dining room sitting as close to the wood stove as possible without melting. It feels amazing to …

On October 24, 2018October 7, 2019 By ValarieIn Nepal2 Comments

We are finally trekking in the Himalayas! Today is day 2 of hiking and we arrived at our tea house twenty minutes before the rain. It started sprinkling on us when we were 1.5 km away, so we picked up the pace in fear of a downpour. It has been an adventure just getting to …
