Goodbye Nepal

Sat, 26 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [634] | Comments [1]

The flight out of Kathmandu was probably one of the most picturesque I've been on - only comparable to our flight out of Lukla. Thanks to Dad secretly pre-booking the best seats again, I was treated one last time to a wonderful view of the Himalayas, ... Read more >

The Mighty Annapurna Circuit Trek

Sat, 26 Oct 2013 | By ruthandklas | Views [1838]

Ruth found the idea of walking across the border odd, stepping into 'no-man’s land' and emerging in a different country. But it seemed fitting to 'walk' into Nepal since walking is what we had come for. Walking is also by far the most comfortable ... Read more >

Back in Kathmandu!

Tue, 22 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [636]

We're back safe and sound in the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu - constantly blazing horns, dusty roads, crowds of locals and tourists, and Nepali men trying to earn a quick rupee from five seconds of playing their traditional fiddle and calling it "Nepali ... Read more >

Lukla

Mon, 21 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [589]

Altitude: 2886m.  Last day of trekking - done and dusted! Woohoo! I have just had my weekly shower, a few days overdue. I got to wash my hair and scrub some of the dry extra-tanned patches of my face. I'm feeling pretty good. We might even ... Read more >

Back in Tok Tok

Sun, 20 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [748]

Altitude: 2800m. Just three more days till Kathmandu and seven to home in KK! While having lunch at Jorsalle (where Ngwang got very drunk the last time), I spotted a glammed-up Aussie girl walking down from Namche, who then decided to sit at the ... Read more >

Back in Namche Bazar

Sat, 19 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [828]

Altitude: 3440m. We just came back from dinner. I had a lovely pork chop with red wine sauce and fries, freshly cooked for me. Very yummy! :) Not exactly what I dreamed about a few days ago - food dreams have become a daily sleep ritual for me since ... Read more >

Back in Debuche

Fri, 18 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [1167]

Altitude: 3700m. We are making our way down. The sad news is we never made it to the top. The weather didn't look like it was getting better with what looked like a cold front heading towards Everest, suggesting another snow storm. There was also ... Read more >

Lobuche

Wed, 16 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [629]

Altitude: 4940m.  We have made it here after an arduous walk up and across some very snowy terrain. Today was, without a doubt, the toughest slog after Tok Tok. The trail seemed almost endless, completely surrounded with white for hours and beyond.... Read more >

Pheriche

Tue, 15 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [712]

Altitude: 4270m. This is the highest I've ever been! And I'm only going to continue climbing! We treaded through some snow (and slush) to get here. Thankfully, even with the recent weather and the conditions it's caused, it's been an alright day.... Read more >

Debuche

Mon, 14 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [2293]

Altitude: 3700m. We're at our first stop after Namche so I guess there's no turning back. It's only onward towards Everest Base Camp! It's been "PISSING" down like crazy today and I'm fully surprised that I, a true rain-hater, made it here without ... Read more >

Namche Bazar

Sun, 13 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [679]

    Altitude: 3440m. Woohoo! We are finally here! Although it isn't all that we hyped it out to be, (being one of the largest places on the trek), it is great to know we made it. It feels absurd to recall that only a week ago, it felt ... Read more >

Tok Tok

Fri, 11 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [1962]

Altitude: 2800m. It was a very enjoyable (and easy) walk from Surkhe to Tok Tok today. Tok Tok is a cute little village just past its bigger neighbour, Phakding, where most people stop to stay. It's less busy, less touristy and more cosy. The lodge ... Read more >

Surkhe

Thu, 10 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [1162]

Altitude: 2400m Thank goodness we're not at Phakding today! Our initial plan was to walk all the way up to Phakding to give us more time to play with, but it would've been an insanely long day. Getting here from Bupsa good enough for the day. As expected, ... Read more >

Bupsa

Wed, 9 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [780]

Altitude: 2350m. Today is day 2 after recommencing our trek. Though the knee hurts, especially going downhill, I feel much better in general. It's amazing the effect weather has and even more amazing, is having the right attitude. Yesterday's stint ... Read more >
