Annapurna Circuit

No blogging for the next 24 days. Sandie and I will be trekking the Himalayas on the Annapurna circuit and sanctuary (Annapurna Base Camp), starting in Besisahar and finishing in Nayapul. My life for the next 24 days will consist of daal baht, sleeping in tea houses and trekking an amazing mountain range.

Maximum elevation is 5416m (17,769ft) on the formidable Thorong La. Will be the highest I have ever been in my life by 3,500 feet... Yikes! If its anything like climbing a 14er, I will be trekking slower than snail. Of course we will be climbing slowly and stopping for acclimatization rest days.

You can view the itinerary on www.yetizone.com. We will be starting in Besisahar and going counter clock-wise with a stop in the Annapurna Base Camp before finishing in Pokhara.

See you soon with tons of photos. Hopefully no photos of Sandie or I getting the heli-vacuation... (Just to get your blood going mom!)
