Yes, I am leaving Pokhara tomorrow morning for a week long Annapurna Trek. Two American girls, students of photography, will be traveling with me. So I will not be alone. I have never gone to that part of the country before but I am excited. I am hoping to go to Ghorepani, Ghandruk and Landruk. I have been hearing about this trek route since I was in school. I still remember reading that Internal Tourism issue of Sadhana magazine where both the villages Ghandruk and Landruk were extensively covered for being the most beautiful villages in the country. Then Ghorepani. I always remember an article in San Francisco Chronicle that I read two years ago when I think about Ghorepani: Everything adds up in math of chance meetings. The American author of the article talks about a chance meeting with his school teacher in Ghorepani. I don’t know whom I will be meeting!
I am excited about the trekking. I just want to enjoy the trip. So wish me a good journey!
