About a week ago we came back from an amazing hike - The Annapurna Circuit. 220km through the Himalaya, from subtropical hills to highalpine terrain. The highest point of the Circuit trek is the Thorung Pass with 5416m. We hiked through medieval little villages, had the most amazing views of 6000m and 7000m peaks, fought our way through waist deep snow, chatted with locals, soaked in hot springs, had one or the other chang (local beer), enjoyed the thin air over 5000m....
All in all a great hike and an amazing experience!!!!
We already uploaded the new pictures and maps. Have fun scrolling through!!!!

Back from the high mountains!
We are back! Almost 3 weeks of trekking, 220km trough the Himalaya, over a pass with 5416m!!! Yaks, prayer flags, medieval villages, milk tea, minus 20 degrees celsius, lukewarmish showers, powder snow, prayer wheels, Dal Bhat,... and all that in the shadows of 6-8000m high mountains!!! WOW!!!
We arrived in Pokhara today in the morning and we'll stay here now for a few days... Our weary muscles need some rest....
