Manang

Curious goat. We passed several small goat herds this morning on a narrow trail. One of many stupas we passed today. It was a hard climb up to Ghyura this morning (1800ft climb in a short time) but the trail got kind of level and we had some great views of Annapurna II and III. […]

Upper Pisang

Today we hiked from Chame to Upper Pisang. We’re staying in a nice guesthouse with a great view of what we think is Annapurna II. Either way it’s a giant, very pretty mountain above 25,000ft.

We arrived at about 4:30am in Varanasi and stumbled across our guesthouse by mostly luck. Our guesthouse in Varanasi was a short walk up from […]
