16 Days Winter Self-Guided Solo Hike in Annapurna Circuit  (5,416masl) and Base Camp (4,130masl)

January 06 to 21, 2016

Day 01-02: Kathmandu by Bus to Besisahar(760masl) to Chyamche(1,440masl)

From Chyamche, it was a gradual descent of 3 hours trek with a scenic view all the way to the one of the best village views I've seen, Tal. Then, a mandatory permit checkpoint in Dharapani. Afterwards, the first rocky steep ascent from Danaque (2,190masl) to Timang (2,750masl). Drizzle already started from Dharapani then become normal rain in Danaque afterwards become heavy snowfall at night. The next day it was a tough cold to trek because of the thick snow and hard ice on the trail which made it become muddy and slippery but had a good clear sky.  

REMINDER: Please take note that my trekking hours is of below average, I'm always lagging for around an hour to the next destination. Also, check-out bill in the morning day after includes lodging for 1 room, dinner and breakfast.
