Annapurna trek which I will do again

I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. When I stepped out of the tea house I was surrounded by peaks. I was still half asleep. had coffee in my hand. Nothing can really prepare you for a moment like that. It was amazing. On the way we went through Ghandruk. It was lovely. Ghandruk was the proper Gurung village that I passed through. Good experience recommended friends later as well.

ABC Trek with my son

Brought my teenage son on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, was scared about how we will manage. Stretch from deurali up to base camp is what he still talks about. Watching the landscape open up together, less forest, more rock and sky, was something we got to experience as a team rather than me just watching him do it alone. Reaching camp and seeing it all in front of us was a moment I’m glad we shared, just the two of us.
