Photos
A few other facts we forgot due to the steak/ beer overload last night:
Minimum reading on Dan's Barometer: 520mb (ie there was 52% of the air from sea level at 5416m)
Total ATMs seen during trek: 1
Total working ATMs seen: 0
Total Oil Derivative powered 4 wheeled vehicles seen during trek: 3
(3 weeks of practicing my time lapse photography also produced this which is pretty cool: http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/dpe22/p1030440.mov )
... and you could feel the lack of air, because you considered a step a good one if you suceeded in putting the heel of one boot down infront of the toes of the other one!
here are some photos:
Pokhara bus stations at sunrise on the way to the trek start point:
We found the beach at 2500m
Looking back up at the south side of the pass, you can see some people descending from it two thirds of the way downthe near side left hill:
A Yak with a view...
Mount Dhaulghiri at sunset from Ghorepani (it is the 7th highest mountain in the world)
Machpuchere (the fish tail mountain) from Chomrong at sunset. This mountain is sacred, and may not be climbed.
and the team photo in front of Annapurna South (... and no Dan and I are standing on the same piece of ground as them...)
