Vagabonding > Annapurna Circuit Trek

Vagabonding > Annapurna Circuit Trek: “The 4:30am alarm seemed especially cruel because I\’d hardly slept at all (few people do above 4,000 meters). I hit the snooze button and thought about the challenges ahead. I was about to climb 1,000 meters up to snowy Thorung La pass (5,416 meters in elevation), then descend 1,600 meters to the nearest village on the other side. The crossing would have to be done quickly to avoid afternoon winds. And, of course, it would all be done at extremely high altitude – the highest I’d ever been.” You didn’t want to work today, did you? Here’s a wonderful journal from a guy on a round the world trip. He’s currently in the Himalayas but recently visited India. It’s a pleasant escape for a rainy day if you’re stuck indoors.
