​Day 05-06: Pisang(3,200masl) to Yak Kharka(4,050masl) to High Camp(4,925masl)

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

January 06 to 21, 2016

Day 03-04: Chyamche(1,440masl) to Thanchowk(2,400masl) to Pisang(3,200masl)

From Lower Pisang, the temperature gets colder because of heavy snowfall occurred 2 days ago. The trail was pretty much easy because it was the off-road for the 4x4 jeep. At the Manang Village, there was a park permit checkpoint. The trail from Manang to Yak Kharka is also a flat trail easy trek. The next day from Yak Kharka, it was a gradual ascent until Thorong Pedi. But from Thorong Phedi (4,450masl), it was a steep and slippery trail with AMS effect to the High Camp (4,925masl).  

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.
