Annapurna Base Camp - 6 day trek or 30 minute flight. Who's the smart one? |
It seems it is not necessary for wives to wear crash helmets.

Big Thank You (Dhan'yavāda) to VM for all his advice in getting me safely to (and back from) Annapurna Base Camp (ABC).
10 day trek - drinking litres of water, eating garlic soup and spicing up things with TIMBUR. No altitude sickness problems for me (4130 m). You da man! Epic air pollution in the valleys but fresh air up high. Clouds start to form at 12:30 local time and by 2 in the afternoon everything is clouded out above 3500 m. The most amazing thing I saw (besides the Yeti) was an R44 landing (and taking off) at ABC! I didn't know they live at 13,500' lol Thanks again. Safe flights! |

You've been reset again! Only four posts, oh well!

Still great pictures Vertical, most impressive. I do wonder, since most post are (still) old pictures, could we have an update to your adventures, any chance you might ever move back to Nepal (I understand you left some time ago)? Cheers

Namaste Mate... hey it's been a while since we got back, but we were overseas for another 5 weeks and didn't download the pics. Shame we missed you in KTM - Thanks to your missus' company for organising a truly amazing time - Fortunately due to the expert guide, we didn't need a medevac in the ~500km of trekking!
The kids are still on a high - The middle boy will always be able to say he turned 10 at Everest :) What a place to fly! https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....fee269ba8c.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4c592052dc.jpg |
What has happened to VF? His new job obviously prevents him from posting. But in regards this wonderful thread, it would be nice to know one way or the other if it has come to an end ?? |

Rules are rules, but with such a popular thread, the moderators should realize they are low life pieces of **** with an axe to grind for no other purpose than being class A dickheads. Change the rule.
I want VF back, I lived vicariously thru him. |
