In the quiet strength of the Himalayas, every step becomes a reminder of resilience and renewal.
Annapurna Circuit Trek & Ice Lake — a journey of altitude, beauty, and profound perspective. 🏔✨

ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP — The Necklace of Giants
Elevation: ~4,130 m (13,550 ft)

Stepping into ABC feels like entering a natural amphitheatre: a 270° sweep of ice-plastered walls, hanging glaciers, and avalanche chutes enclosing a sunlit meadow. This “necklace” — the Annapurna Sanctuary — is one of the Himalaya’s most intimate yet powerful panoramas: close, towering, and perfectly sculpted by time.

Today’s skyline:

Annapurna I — 8,091 m / 26,545 ft
The world’s 10th highest — centerpiece of the cirque

Annapurna Fang (Baraha Shikhar) — 7,647 m / 25,089 ft
Sawtooth ridges guarding the west

Annapurna South — 7,219 m / 23,684 ft
Glowing golden at sunrise

Hiunchuli — 6,441 m / 21,132 ft
The southeastern gateway to the Sanctuary

Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) — 6,993 m / 22,943 ft
The iconic spire watching over the approach

A place that humbles, strengthens, and reminds — the mountains aren’t just climbed, they’re felt.

ICE LAKE (KICHO TAL), 4,620 m / 15,157 ft

From Manang (3,540 m) we 4×4’d up to ~3,900 m, then climbed ~700 m over ~6.5 km on snow and ice — micro-spikes and poles absolutely essential.

STRONG HEART, STEP BY STEP. SPIRIT BY SPIRIT, SOUL TO SUMMIT.

MANANG → GANGAPURNA LAKE (via Chongkor, 3,750 m)

8.8 km • 12,317 steps. Poles + micro-spikes for the icy stretches. A winter-blue lake, striking glacier textures, and massive views of Annapurna III and Gangapurna.

LOWER ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP (4,100 m).
From Manang (3,540 m), we climbed 550–650 m into a breathtaking glacial basin beneath Annapurna II & III — wind plumes, icefall, and absolute silence.
Bonus moment: Sarvāṅgāsana at ~4,000 m.
Returned to Manang to sleep low and recover.

A balcony walk above the valley with a colossal skyline—Annapurna II/III/IV, Gangapurna, Pisang Peak. Bluebird skies, prayer flags, and even a golden eagle soaring overhead.

Today: 13,473 steps • 8.8 km • ~3,700 m

17/11/2025

Jeep to Lower Pisang, then a steep climb to Ghyaru (3,670 m) — one of the finest Himalayan balconies, with Annapurna II & III, Gangapurna, and Pisang Peak all in a single breathtaking frame.
Wrapped up the day rolling into Manang (3,540 m).
Tomorrow’s trail: Ngawal.

15/11/2025

We arrived in Kathmandu last night, gearing up for the Annapurna Circuit — from Manang to the stunning Ice Lake at 4,559 m.
Today, we fly by heli to Chame as we begin this high-altitude journey of resilience, gratitude, and adventure.

Daily updates coming straight from the mountains — walk this trail with us.

The mountain isn’t just a goal — it’s a reminder.
That every step, breath, and beat of the heart matters.
Annapurna Circuit & Ice Lake (Nov 2025) — the next call to rise above.

Next Peak. Same Purpose.
After summiting Everest Base Camp (18,000+ ft) in April 2024, I’m now gearing up for my next Himalayan chapter — the Annapurna Trail & Ice Lake Trek in Nepal.
Our base will be around Manang (3,500 m / 11,483 ft), with days reaching Kicho Tal (Ice Lake, 4,559 m / 14,957 ft).

My daily routine — 90 minutes of treadmill, 60 minutes of multigym, yoga & meditation — isn’t about chasing records.
It’s about consistency, joint-smart training, and the joy of movement.

If this journey inspires even one peer in my age group (or younger!) to adopt a sustainable rhythm of activity, breath, and balance — it’s already a summit worth reaching.

Stay tuned for exciting updates from the trail!
