Itinerary to Annapurna Base Camp

This is rather a long overdue post, been distracted by many things. Anyway, let me go back to approximately 6months ago.

It was a total 8 days trek, we return to Nepal for the second time and did the exact trekking route we embark in October 2012. The different was, we extended the trip to see their base camp at 4310m high and instead of autum it was spring this time.

It was a better prepared trip, whether mentally or physically except we have gone on the trip without buying any travel insurance! Honestly, I was quite nervous during the trek that I might fall sick in the mountain, but thank God we were both very healthy except was having a bit of altitude sickness towards the peak of the base camp where we both was struggling to swallow in the little cup of muslee at approximately 3800m.

The brief itinerary of the adventure:

Day 1: Pokhara > Nayapul > Birethanti > Hille > Ulleri 1960m (3hrs 15min)
Day 2: Ulleri > Banthani > Upper Ghorepani 2860m (3hrs 15mins)
Day 3:  Ghorepani > Deurali > Benthanti > Tadapani 2660m (4hrs)
Day 4: Tadapani > Chulie > Gurjubg > Upper Chomrong > Upper Sinowa 2300m (6hrs 20mins)
Day 5: Upper Sinowa > Bamboo > Dovan > Himalaya > Deurali 3200m (5hrs 40mins)
Day 6: Deurali > MBC > ABC 4130m > MBC 3700m (6hrs 30mins)
Day 7: MBC > Deurali > Himalaya > Dovan > Bamboo > Sinowa > Upper Chomrong 2170m (7hrs)
Day 8: Upper Chomrong > Jhindudnda > Siwy > Nayapul by local bus (5hrs)

The total walking/climbIng/crawling hours was 37hrs 40min, sounds like a lot hey.  If you average it with 8 days trip then is not too bad.
