5/5 ⭐, Sunrise, Reflections & a Sleeping Friend
Just after 5 a.m., it's freezing cold today, but clear in the ABC, and we experience the first rays of sunshine bathing the white peaks, especially Annapurna I, in a fiery red light.
After breakfast, our long descent begins: 1,700 meters downhill. At around

5/5 ⭐, the grand finale to Annapurna Base Camp
Bright sunshine accompanies our departure from Deurali – our anticipation is immense, because today we are facing the final climb to the ABC. The trail climbs moderately, but suddenly a reminder of the untamed power of the mountains forces us to humble ourselves

3/5 ⭐, we climb 200 meters on unpaved roads past pine trees with nests of pine processionary moths with beautiful views. We quickly get the feeling of being far away from civilization, encounter many wild rabbits and enjoy nature. This feeling is destroyed after the highest point by the view of the motorway

5/5 ⭐, Of bamboo forests, steep steps, and hot air
Soon the heat makes us sweat. First, we walk through a shady bamboo forest, later through jungle-like terrain.
