I tried to trek through the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal in June 2013. I reached as high as Letdar (4200 meters). It rained a lot from Manang onward. The continuous snow at Letdar finally convinced us to turn back and give up on the trek. It is always sad when I cannot complete a trek, but then if the weather is adverse I would like to come back to the place, rather than continuing foolishly.
I have written a day by day account of my trek. So here I collect it in one post. The posts after Letdar may not interest you as I was walking back whereas you would be going ahead. But I need to record it so that I may remember even 10 years from now. I cannot tell you how happy I was when we finally got to the road and found a jeep that would take us back to the civilization!

I always kept track of your Trek and it came to an end..But really I had a virtual visual of the Annapurna Circuit through your post… 🙂
Harsha I had to give up mid way. Maybe one day I will go back and complete the circuit.
It’s as if I’m trekking with you enjoying the sight of snow-capped mountains, eye-catching greene aries, et al and also feeling the painful cramps.

Hi Mridula.
Prasanna Upadhye here.
I had earlier communicated with you on your EBC blog and had asked you about ABC blog.
I read all the 10 articles of ABC blog today.
Found it very interesting . It was very unfortunate that you could not complete this trek due to rains.
Have you completed this trek after 2013 .
I still read your EBC posts[read it again yesturday] to rejuvenate myself and remember my EBC trek done in 2016.
Keep posting nice reviews about your treks.
All the best.
