Chhomrong


Nima at the junction at the top of the ridge, we hiked at least 3,000 feet higher, but only gained 500 feet because in this part of the wolrld you must hike down before you can hike up. 

Porridge and ginger tea 

Hair washing

When we hiked down to the river, I saw a lonely figure carrying a large load of straw and sticks, when she came to where we were sitting I saw that it was a very elderly woman with no shoes and very worn looking feet.

The views from Chhomrong are impossible to describe, which we saw briefly before it started to rain again, views of a Annapurna south 7220 meters and Machhapruche.  Annapurna is a huge mountain with several peaks, the highest of which is the 10th highest mountain in the world.
