Nepal Fall 2009


This was the view from a $3 or $4 dollar hotel room!


We enjoyed our rest day in Manang!  Great place for easy day hikes. 





The early morning start to the top of the pass. We started
at 14,000 feet from our High Camp Hotel.

We were happy we made it! The top of the pass
was at 17,500 feet.

Finally, we begin our descent down from the top of the pass.
We hiked down 8,OOO feet from the top of the pass. It was a
hard day.
The Annapurna Circuit took us 17 days.  We did skip out on a several hour long day from Jomson to Ghasa because the trail is now a road.  We took a bus in the morning and then hiked to Tatopani.    
Pokhara was a fabulous place to stay for 2 - 3 days.  We ate well, canoed and visited the International Mountain museum.  We felt the museum was worth it.
