Beware: Entering the Landslide area! I guess a rock nearly missed my head. But I never saw it! We all made it through safely, although it was a little scary at times, especially with the trail covered in snow and ice in places!
Thorung La Pass: This photo deserves a huge long blog entry. But here it is. We did make it to the top, but just barely and with lots of help and assitance from other trekkers and guides! Thank God for them! This was the big day---5416m! Never again do I hope to be that high in my life...oh, but it is kind of addicting. Anyone want to climb Mt. Kilamanjaro?
Muktinath: The day after surviving the pass! Do you see the big bags under our eyes? We are standing with our favorite non-guide. He wasn't ours, he was with our Spanish friend. But he stayed with us over the pass and made sure we didn't fall off the mountain or collapse due to AMS. Thank you Gyanu! You are our Annapurna Hero!
Jomsom: After almost a week of rain and snow, the sun finally reappared in Jomsom on our rest day. We had a fabulous view of Nilgiri from the restaurant at our hotel and the rooftop while we were waiting for our stinky laundry to dry.
