Absolutely amazing vacation

I am back from my trekking trip. I am tired but completely rejuvenated at a same time. I had an absolutely amazing time during my one week holiday. I don't know how to describe it, but I enjoyed magnificent views, beautiful temples, villages, delicious food and wonderful company!! (and some muscular pain, needless to say)

Three girls, my friend from Canada, German girlfriend and myself embarked on a 5 day trekking trip in the Annapurna region. We flew from KTM to a famous lakeside city, which is a gateway to this area's trekking routes.

Stayed one night in a trekking company owned guest house and took a small (and scary) plane to where we started off. We used sort of a social venture trekking company that promotes women's empowerment through sports, and the guide and the porter persons we got were great.

Our estimate is that we covered about 40 kilometers distance during the 5 days. The highest point we have reached was over 3800 kilometers, which is probably the highest that I have ever been. This trek is not about going up so high, and for the most part terrain was either more or less flat or gradual elevation. We did go up on a steep hill, which was struggle at a higher altitude.

Since it was a high altitude, the scenery was dry and not much vegetation and a desert like condition with magnificent views of snow capped mountains. It was dry, sunny, cool and windy.

Here is the overview of the itinerary

Day 1 Fly to Jomsom, Trek -> Marpha and Tuckche and stay overnight in Marpha

Day 2 Marpha -> Jomsom -> Eklebati -> Kagbani

Day 3 Kagbeni -> Kinga -> Jarkhot

Day 4 Jarkhot -> Muktinath -> Jarkhot

Day 5 Jarkhot -> Jomsom

疲れたけどすごくリフレッシュして帰ってきました。雪山の景色がすごく綺麗に見える中でのトレッキングはすごく楽しかったです。
