A 16-day Trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal .. covering Mohare-Danda, Khopra-Danda, Muldhai, Macchepuchare-BC (MBC) and Annapurna-BC (ABC)
Day-11 Trek Deorali to Machepuchare Base Camp (MBC)
We can see MBC Teahouses ahead at 10:45AM ... as the valley widens and we emerge from a narrow gorge section
Day-11a (15th Dec) Trek Deorali to MBC
We left Deorali at 8:35AM and climbed steadily towards MBC.
As we leave we see some of the other Teahouses of Deorali
The valley was getting narrower in certain parts. We reached MBC Teahouses at 11:10AM and stopped there at a GH for some refreshments and rest. Weather was super clear and I got some nice pictures on the way at MBC.
The snow peak views as we near MBC (11:00AM)
We stop at first TH "Machhapuchhare GH & Restaurant" for tea at 11:10AM
Me ... happy to have reached MBC .. Annapurna Main over my head
As we leave MBC towards ABC ... we meet these 3 Swiss girls again
As we left MBC and headed towards ABC, we again met the 3 Swiss girls whom we had first seen at the Tadapani GH. They recognised me, stopped, chatted and posed for a picture on my camera. They were returning from ABC and going down now.
They said, their names were (L to R) Sita, Shanthi, and Sabita! So I asked, if these were the names they had 'adopted' for their India-Nepal tour? ... No, they said, these were their real names!! I can't believe that.
