Annapurna
Day 14 & day 15 - Tilicho base camp to the Tilicho lake at 5000m then back to collect our bags, had a lunch of fried momos and then slowly made our way down the valley, to a village of Shree Kharka, about 4100m. After the past few days of rain and cloud we were rewarded the most perfect day, the morning started at about 6:45 am it’s was 3 degrees 😳 my hands were so sore. We soon warmed up as we had about an elevation of 800m in 5 km. So up and down = 10 km then another 5 km down so total 15 km above 4000 m - quite a day!!! The lake was magnificent! It took me about 3 hours to get there… it was soooo cold. Had biscuits and bad coffee when was not too bad at 5000m when there is a tea house making it. Magical day ❤️🩷🧡💛

Day 13 - Manang to Tilicho base camp - 3500m to 4200m. 14 km of ascending and descending. Way more than we thought 😳 sad to leave Manang, our village of carbs, coffee and comfort. The scenery today was incredible, like a strange dream. Tomorrow up to the lake at 5000m but without a pack, thank goodness 😅 it’s 2 degrees now and will be colder tomorrow as we have a clear day. 💛🧡🩷❤️

Day 11 - hiked in light rain for about 5 hrs to Chame, found a good coffee place and ended up staying in a lovely tea house. Day 12 - The family invited us to their biggest celebration of the year, “Dashian” a bit like Christmas. We got blessed with “tikka” red rice and given money like the kids of the family. We ate & drank. Finally our tuk-tuk arrived and we jumped into the 3x3 for a wild 3hr ride. It was so much fun😊😳! A bit of a cheat, covered 2 days of walking on the road as we wanted to get back to altitude. Arrived in Manang, land of plenty, plenty of carbs, coffee and character, strange but beautiful place. Wish we could stay longer but heading off tomorrow, day 14!! 6/7 hours to Tilicho base camp at 4150m, so an elevation of 600m. My legs are going to be in shock as I have not carried my backpack for 2 days but super excited for the next few day 🙃

Day 10 - nothing exciting happened yesterday. 14km down out of Manaslu and the start of the Annapurna. Most people jeep it up to miss the first few days as there is a road now. We tried to avoid the road on foot by taking short cuts, which were steep but beautiful. With roads to the villages, comes easy access but so many tea houses loose business. We had a tea house to ourselves, with two lovely sisters running the place with the most incredible veg garden. Crazy storm last night, lightning & thunder, today a perfect morning.

Manaslu & Annapurna trek
Day 8 - Dharamasala to Larkye Pass(5160m) to Bhimtang

Still not feeling great, I struggled to wake up at 3 am and got ready to leave at 4am. The next 13 hours were some of the toughest moments of my life. I had no energy to go on, every step was hard. We all ended up spending too much time at Altitude which was not great! I survived, although Yvette was very close to pressing the SOS button on her garmin. It’s incredible what the human body can do when you think you cannot go on! We were all traumatised from the day. 😳🥲

Lesson learnt! Do not attempt a pass when not feeling good!

Day 7 - Samdo to Dharmasala (4460m)
Distance: 6.5 km
Time: 3hrs

Woke up not feeling great, combination of a tummy bug & altitude. We still hiked to Dharamasala. It was tough and I was only allowed to lie down for an hour. Could not eat and super low energy levels. Concerned for the pass the next day 😳

Nepal 2025

Manaslu & Annapurna trek
Day 5 - 2 nights in Samagaun
Day trip to Manaslu base camp

Tough day even though I did not have my 14 kg bag with me. I think it was way to fast to elevate to 5000m so did not make it to the base camp but got to about 4800m and had a really beautiful solo walk down with out guides - not use to having a guide. Good dinner of Dahl baht.
