I took a break from the Deoriatal story as I went to Pench and saw a tiger too. I am back. When I went to sleep at Sari village I was not too thrilled. The sky was overcast and that meant no view. There was no change in the morning too. Chhavi however woke up…

My 5 Most Cherished Treks
I need one major trek every year to cope with my daily grind. And I eagerly look forward to it every year. I tried to trek through Annapurna Circuit in Nepal in June 2013 and the next major trek is now going to happen in June 2014 only. Yet I think of it daily and…
A Collection of All My Annapurna Circuit Trek Posts
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,…
Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal- Day 10 The Retreat, Timang to Chamche
Today’s walk was completely dominate by the thoughts of finding a jeep. All my life I have taken roads for granted. I (or rather my husband) bought my first car late, in my thirties but I completely take automobiles for granted. Not so on this trek. Jeeps were now elusive and their continued absence would…
Morning at Timang, Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal
Timang is a small village on the Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal. I reached there while walking back after a lot of bad weather at Letdar. The sky was almost always overcast throughout this trek. The night I was at Timang was exceptionally clear and the entire range was bathed in moonlight. I was just…
Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal- The Retreat, Day 9 Humde to Timang
If the weather would have cooperated with us we would have on the other side of the Throng La pass by now. But after the snow at Letdar we decided to walk back. I was looking forward to reach Chame because my cell phone would work there. I was looking forward to all the calls…
Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal- The Retreat, Day 8 Letdar to Humde
If you do the regular Annnapurna Circuit Trek you will not be doing this. You would be walking to high camp at 4800 meters after Letdar. However weather had other ideas for us. When I got up I could hear the rain, once again, before I saw it. Even though it was not snowing anymore…
Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal- Day 7 The Snowfall at Letdar
On day seven my trek started deviating from the proposed itinerary. I was supposed to walk to the high camp (4800 meters) on day 7 and on day 8 we would have crossed the Thorang-La pass if things went according to plan. But they didn’t. I got up early in the morning and went to…
Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal- Day 6 Manang to Letdar
As it was raining when I went to sleep, I wondered if walking from Manang to Letdar would be in pouring rain. When I got up I could hear the rain before I could see it. But when you have to go you have to go! So I got out and went about having an…
Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal- Day 5 Rest and Acclimatization Day at Manang
Even though it was a rest day, I still woke up at 5.30 am and looked out of the window. And after just one look, I went to sleep again, it was completely overcast, not a patch of color that I usually associate with the sunrise or the morning sky! I eventually woke up at…
