ABC trek DAY 5

so we got up the next day in heaven!
no words can describe the sights we saw today...
yet i tried hopelessly>
the direct rays of the sun arent here yet, but the dawn is enuf to illuminate the annapurnas.
machhapuchre from MBC.

sam and i got up early, like 5am or something. since we had to be there (ABC) early to see the peaks b4 the clouds come over... so we did.
behind sam is the Mt fishtail or machhapuchre! its got 2 peaks , so like the fish tail!
from pokhara, we see the opposite side of this peak!

left MBC for ABC, u see the clouds over the mountains? they are actually evaporating snow over the peaks coz of the sun's rays! hence they follow the outline of the mountain.

tushar and me, look like a couple! hahah. stupid posing!


better pose. room mates, 'mates' !

ken looking on as he spoils a great pic by coming in the view, anyway, i'll crop him! haha


thats a better place for ken.

we have reached ABC!! i got acute diarrhoea on top on the Himalayas! yes, i went there!

didnt feel so well too.

tushar, joined the maoists and is inspiring the locals there!
i think this is a very nice picture, thanks sam,

yet u see ppl behind me. ok, its natural.

anu is holding little ken on the rock!

we had our lunch there! the room on the background.

zoheb. happy outside the toilets!


'i'll fly away'

porter, this guy had a big role in our trek. he deserves many accolades.
so do all of us. hey look , zoheb's got a fist! he'll hit anu on the head! haha.


zats me with 'mars' in my mouth.


ken and anu- 'the couple'!

ken and tushar - 'the mates'


looks like sam came 1st, me 2nd and zoheb 3rd.

wat we actually tried here is to pretend to lift sambhav!

i like this pic a lot, coz its got a lot in it.

from the top, it has dark blue sky, then the white snowy mountains, then the brown barren rocks/earth, then u have light green grass and also a greenish lake up here on the annapurna ranges!

never expected a lake up here.

ah, i remember zoheb's comments on this: he said it looked like its been downloaded frm the net! wow! not bad huh?


same for this.

Paramount pictures! ;)

this seems to be a glacial lake, when the glaciers evaporate, they leave lakes as such!


hey! dont push ppl with stick!


beautiful setting, beautiful friendships!


lake
snow & rocks ken and sam.


thats most of us guys far away on the rock!

we're so small compared to the huge white mountains! so humbling!

we all finally had our 'mars' which we had been saving for this day! except zoheb, who had no clue, so he just used a bar-one.

majestic. simply.


looks at the rocks above, they probably slide down the hill, avalanche! help.

this place ABC and MBC is covered with snow in the winter season. unfortunate 4 us, we couldnt wait!

another gd pic spoiled by an idiot tourist!

so we spent an amazing day there and moved on... with a great , empowering sense of achievement and accomplishment.

thrilled and fulfilled, we left ABC back thru the path to MBC.

and u can see how the clouds just started to come through!

look at the clouds, soon they just engulf us!

these sheep were all around MBC, i expected a yak on the way, but none found !

normally, zoheb looks this happy only when he's had a full stomach of a mouth-watering meal!

but here he's on top of his own mountain! he named it Mt. NOVA! yeah. hahah.


thats MBC back down there.. soon we'll cross it and head further down.

machhapuchre, shying behind the clouds.

water trickling down the rocky ground.... through the clouds.
another rare flower,

look, the rocks knew we were coming, our names on the rock! gyan and tushar!

walking thru the sky!

back over the ladder-bridge.

trekking back towards home...
