After sharing my sleeping bag with a bug, my ear with a mosquito, the walking track with a donkey train and a couple of baby goats, my coffee with insects and my bum with the wet, slippery rock, I am feeling a sense of relief to be back on solid ground where the air offers 100% oxygen!
Yes, we all made it back in one piece, albeit with a few complaints. The scenery was spectacular. Each morning we were greeted with a breathtaking view of snow capped Annapurna South or Fish Tail Mountain. Our hard work during the day was rewarded at night with a nice meal, often cooked by our multi skilled porters. Our porter crew were amazing - Kath was hand escorted up and down mountains and through streams by her very experienced porter Sheba. Netra saved me a couple of times from certain sacral damage and the others just knew when to offer their hand to their customers. We were even given a hot water bottle at night to keep us warm.
Tomorrow is a free day in Pokhara to recover. I think massages might be on the cards for most. Speaking of cards, Damien has taught us all a few new card games.
We'll be back online later with some pictures from our trek.
