Trekking - Day 6

I woke up at 6 after a restless night. It's not as clear today, but it's not bad. The views are spectacular again, with more mountains in sight today. We admired the views, had breakfast and left camp at about 8. It's amazing how much easier it is on the way down. Maybe that's obvious, but once you get used to the altitude then the air just feels thick and easy to breathe as you go back down.

The 2 hour hike up to base camp was an easy 1 hour hike back down. We continued all the way to Sinuwa. We took two and a half days to get from Sinuwa up to Annapurna Base Camp, so that gives you an idea of how different it is.

The weather was pretty cold all the way down, much worse than when we were on the way up. It rained (pretty much a daily occurrence of course), but it wasn't a big deal. The guest house is entirely full, mostly people going up the mountain. We really did time this trip well, with small crowds and good weather at the important times.

For dessert today, a treat: a Mars Roll. It's a Mars bar, wrapped in Gurung bread (the local traditional bread, a lot like Native American fry bread), then deep fried. It was amazing.
