Tibet & Nepal : Part 13 - Mission to see ABC : Success!

15 Sept - Annapurna Range, I finally see you! It was 5.20am, awaken by the knocks on the door. It lasted for only 20 minutes before the mist enveloped the mountain range again. 

Destination - Back to Dovan. 












Group photo with the guide, Homnath and assistant guide, Pradip.


The trek to MBC from ABC was just 30 minutes. What a big difference compared to the time taken to trek to ABC from MBC, which I took slightly more than an hour.






After 3 hours of trekking, we stopped at Himalayan Village for lunch. And just in time before the rain started! Thank goodness. But it was still so cold for us as we were having lunch with the rain and our cold sweat. We were shivering. Well, I was very badly. 



For dinner, we tried dal bhat - Nepal's staple food. It is rice with a mixture of curry vegetables and potatoes, and pickles. We had 2 helpings because the curry was simply delicious. Not spicy at all. The crew ate Dal Bhat everyday, twice a day for lunch and dinner. That is their paid-for meal.
