Namaste. We arrived in Pokhara safely yesterday after a six hour bus ride up the Kathmandu Valley.
Pokhara is northwest of Kathmandu and is the starting point of the Annapurna Circuit.
Today we hung out and rented paddle boats on Lake Fewa which Pokhara borders. There was an island pagoda which was cool. Actually, it basically was just a pidgeon sanctuary. Tomorrow we take a short car ride to Phedi, the jump of point of the Annapurna circuit.
We are following the circuit clockwise starting in Pokhara and ending in Besishahar. We will do the Annapurna Sanctuary(dotted red line) portion of the trek first. This trail cuts throught the heart of the mountain range and takes us to the Annapurna Base camp. That portion should take about 12-14 days to complete. After that, we continue clockwise around the mountain range which is the actual Annnapurna Circuit. That portion will take roughly 14-16 days. We look forward to having a fun and epic journey. Wish us luck!-David
