Day one to Annapurna Circuit

I managed to write this on my phone, so a sooner than expected post coming up!

I left Kathmandu at 7am this morning and took a 7 hour bus to Besisahar. Despite being rocky along the way, it wasn’t half as bad as I had expected! We stopped once for a toilet (squat) break. I didn’t realise the luxury I was living in before now!! I also didn’t realise the bus that was fully occupied when we left, could fit another 5 people in along the way!

My bus for the next 7 hours

Along the road, we past many villages and towns (although hard to differentiate which was which) and also saw many people out harvesting rice. I took a few snaps and videos of the journey. There were even a few tractors on route!!

A video or two of the bumpy ride…

Needless to say, I was delighted when we finally arrived at Besisahar! My first tea house wasn’t so bad either. However, I was told to lap up the luxurious toilet (no toilet paper but I was pre-warned) and hot shower as I believe these will be few and far between on route.

Travelling is great though, right?
