This morning’a view…

Having conversed with my guide, we decided to take a jeep today instead of trekking, meaning that I gain a few days at the other end of the trek to reach Annapurna Base Camp. Meet Saroj, my guide, and my jeep for today.

The jeep took 5.5 hours to drive 65km, which gives an idea of the roads we were on! There was some dodgy overtaking at times also!

Here is a video from the start of the journey, now multiply that by 1000 to when we were scaling the edge of a mountain for majority of the time! The driver also blessed himself when crossing every bridge which was rather unsettling! But we arrived safe and sound 👍🏻

The views along the way were incredible though. I tried to take pictures but the ride was too bumpy. Here are some of what I was able to capture.

We stopped for lunch at Dense Fall, an incredible waterfall in a small town on the way. There were many waterfalls, but this one was really beautiful!

The perfect place for a coffee also!

Now I have arrived in Koto, which is 2600m high and definitely feels colder! The tea house is very cute and the view is also pretty good!

Tomorrow, the trekking begins!
