17. March 2023 What another lucky woman I was! I woke up and saw the blue sky and the laughing sun again – and also the snow-sugared ground. There was already a lot of activity in the direction of the temple. I quickly had breakfast, shouldered my backpack and set off for one … Continue reading Muktinath -> Kagbeni – Guten Morgen Sonnenschein Read more
16. March 2023 There was a surprise for breakfast: I wouldn’t be staying here alone after all. Half of a couple had diarrhoea and vomiting and didn’t want to take a bus for several hours. But apart from that, everyone had really left and it was strange at first to be alone again. … Continue reading Muktinath – so let the wind cross your ash thoughts Read more
15. March 2023 It’s really crazy how the altitude plays with my psyche at night. I was already on the verge of wanting to go down again. But then the alarm rang, I slipped into almost all my clothes (3 layers on legs, 5 layers on top), got a coffee – and calmed … Continue reading High Camp -> Muktinath – Deep into the Mountain Sound Read more
14. March 2023 It is always a miracle what effects getting up and drinking coffee can have. After my desolate night with many doubts, I dragged myself to breakfast – and everything was fine again. The headache subsided, the porridge tasted good, my mood lifted. The landscape was only slightly snow-sugared, the sky … Continue reading Ledar -> High Camp – Last Christmas Read more
13. March 2023 The evening before, there were guides who had an oximeter with them: my oxygen levels were good. Talk with the lodge owner: porter to the end point Muktinath costs too much money, he advises one to the pass. Tilicho Lake was dead for me – sounded too unattractive with snow. And I … Continue reading Manang -> Ledar – Denn das Leben ist nicht morgen sondern jetzt Read more
12. March 2023 As the many metres of altitude the day before were not without strain and I had not yet seen the monastery, I thought a restful day was a good idea. Manang was only about 3 km away and a bit higher. So after breakfast I went to the monastery. It is … Continue reading Bhraka -> Manang – Sittin’ when the Evenin’ comes Read more
11. March 2023 For acclimatisation, it is good to take a little time and go to higher altitudes, especially during the day. I had read about Ice Lake in a blog as a great highlight anyway. And so I set off on the trail, which was well signposted and marked. First I went through … Continue reading Ice Lake – Arrabi el Arabe Read more
10. March 2023 Yay – blue skies and sunshine again! I actually thought I had 8,000 m in front of me, but then I looked at the map again: this peak of Annapurna II is “only” 7,937m high. But an avalanche came thundering down in a very exciting way. It looks thrilling, on … Continue reading Upper Pisang -> Bhraka – (Wo)Man in Love Read more
9. March 2023 I woke up. It was very cold in the room. There was brightness through the curtains. I opened them: yaaaaa! Sunshine! High snow-covered mountains! I jumped out of bed, looked here and there, ate my breakfast, shouldered my backpack and started walking. Actually, maps.me doesn’t need it for orientation – and … Continue reading Chame -> Upper Pisang – Walking on Sunshine Read more
8. March 2023 I had stuffed my small backpack full in the hope that it would be exactly the things I would need for a longer trekking time in the Annapurna region. What I would do there was not really planned, I wanted to decide every day how I would feel and where I … Continue reading Pokhara -> Chame – Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram Read more
