Back to the middle east

Day 158, Nepal, Annapurna, Jomsom, Trekking day 7

Starting altitude: 3'800m
Lowest point: 2'800m
Highest point: 4'300m
Final altitude: 2'800m

The walk today reminds me a lot the scenery of Oman. The dry and brown mountains on this side of the Annapurna range are a strong contrast to the landscapes of the past days. It is even today a fantastic walk. The last hour becomes tricky as there is a lot of wind. In Jomsom I feel to be back in the civilization, there is even a small and very dangerous airport. Two weeks ago a plane crashed and it still lies there on the river, next to the airport. I prefer to take a bus tomorrow, rather than a suicide-like airplane.
