I have officially made it across the Throng Pass, the most challenging part of the Annapurna Circuit. Needless to say the last couple of days have been extremely rewarding. After 10 days of trekking I am proud to say I reached a total altitude of 5416m. Very often trekkers will begin to feel sick around 3000m. Altitude sickness can affect people differently including loss of appetite, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea. Luckily for me I didn't feel any symptoms. At that altitude the air is extremely thin. After taking about 15 quick steps, I was left panting for oxygen...lol...
After 10 solid days of trekking I am in Pokhara relaxing for the next couple of days. Tomorrow Sergio and I will be heading to Chitwan.
