Welcome to the Annapurna.

Since finishing the PCT I’ve spent time repairing and relaxing in Canada, then with an awesome hiker duo in Seattle.
I’ve now flown across to Nepal to hike the Annapurna with my Dad.
It’s going to be a very different trek for lots of reasons. I’m no longer alone, due to altitude there days will be much shorter distances each day and I’m not even carrying a tent, as we sleep in tea houses, it’s a massive culture shock and most importantly there’s more than one possible route. Still it is beautiful and I can’t wait to see it all with my Papa.
Oddly my camera was flat today so here’s a few phone pictures to get started.
Most of today was spent crammed up in a bus. It certainly made walking a luxury.

The couple of hours of hiking at the end of the day where easy going and flat, although with the humidity…very sweaty. We even had a local teahouse owner guide us along. He was really useful at getting us used to the trail and looking out for the red and white trail markers.

We are now staying at his teahouse along with the other 3 hikers on our bus and a few others.
Full up on dhal bhat I’m excited for a good night’s sleep.
