Annapurna Circuit, Days 4,5 & 6

October 10, 2009 | Category: Annapurna Circuit, Nepal | by: Heather

Our fourth day of the circuit was another of gruelling ups and downs.  Starting to wonder if we’ll toughen up to it.  More rain, but not too unpleasant until the last pass when it was getting cold and windy on top of the rain.  The river is bigger than ever, and so alive.  When we arrived in the riverside village of Tal, everything was jam-packed full because trekkers ahead of us had been stuck or turned back due to some pretty gnarly landslides ahead.  Fortunately we were able to find a place that could squeeze us in.  Tyler and Jewell slept in the porter’s room, and Spence and I crammed into a tiny little single room.  We could hear landslides across the river crashing down all night long.  The way opened up the next day, but we decided to take a rest day to let the masses get ahead of us and dry our stuff.  Reading, relaxing, cards, warm food.  On day 6, under clear skies, we made good time, along with the pack-mule trains.  We arrived at our destination with plenty of time for hanging out….which included a hotspring!  Oh yeah.  29 photos.
