Day-11b (15th Dec) Trek MBC to ABC
We left MBC at 12:10AM and reached ABC at 2:10PM in 2 Hours
Nearing ABC ... Can see Teahouses ahead ... and Annapurna-S beyond
We checked into "Annapurna-GH" at ABC at 2:10PM and rushed out to take pictures without losing any time; since the weather was perfect and sunny. Went some 200-300M ahead where the Prayer Flags were fluttering at the edge of the Glacier. Took lots of pictures from the BC mound.

Annapurna - I
Back in the GH for Dinner, I found all the Glass cases and windows of the teahouse was pasted with pictures of Trekkers who had visited and stayed here .. with their names, country and a message. There among the hundreds of pictures, I found one of the 3 Swiss girls, with Indian names (Sita, Sabita & Shanthi) that we had met yesterday, near MBC on there way back.
