    • The Icy Ravines of the Annapurna

      It had been a deadly scramble on the Annapurna Base Camp trek from the village of Ghandruk, a steep descent of over 400 meters from the top of a hill to the Kimrong Khola stream and then a near vertical ascent of the same altitude to the top of a hill on the other side. My knees broke down after I stumbled into the village of Chhomrong and I had to spend many days recuperating there watching one trekking group after the other walking ahead to the icy wonders of the Base Camp.

      But I have no complaints. Chhomrong had a clear 180 degree view of the Annapurna mountains and because the Himalayan mountains make their own weather, every day, from the roof top of the Panorama Point Lodge, I had the opportunity to appreciate the the icy peaks and ravines in more textures and shades than many trekkers who would spend just a night there would.
