Fantastic trek

Day 152, Nepal, Annapurna, Ngawal, Trekking day 1

Starting altitude: 2'700m
Lowest point: 2'700m
Highest point: 3'900m
Final altitude: 3'700m

I start to walk in the early morning from Chame. The weather is beautiful and there are nearly no foreigners, as it is the end of the trekking season. The views over the Annapurna range are fabulous. The first part of the trek I walk together with a Nepalese and 10 donkeys. They carriage cement to an upper village. I feel good and reach the daily destination already at 11:30 am. I decide to continue walking and meet some russians on the way. I finally reach Ngawal after a long and beautiful trek. It is a fantastic feeling to walk at nearly 4'000m and to have to look up to see the mountains that are 8'000m high!
