Annapurna South


Heading towards Annapurna Base Camp

Originally uploaded by SteveMLT
After the General Assembly a few of us packed light bags (mine weighed 7 kgs!) and went off on a teahouse trek - well,only one of the best in the world: Annapurna Base Camp. I last visited it 20 years ago, its still beautiful though a bit busier these days. Highly recommended. We adopted a bold strategy of racing from a room base at 2300 metres to the top camp (over 4000m!) and back out in a day, thereby getting out again before any altitude problems set in. Worked ok but the whole team was super fit, otherwise I think it would be risky to say the least!
