Pilanita did trekking in Annapurna Circuit. Famous of their individuality they chose their own trek- a bit of Annapurna Base Camp and party of Gorakhpur- Gandruk Loop and Poon Hill (3220m) The trekk took us 5 hard days...(especially the last day back when we did 2300metres down- walking on the stairs... We had an opportunity to home stay in local Gorkha villages (one of those is shown on the picture). We share local dishes with host, that means we ate dal bhat 3 times a day (big portion of rice, vegetable curry and lentils soup) ad you get the second every time your plate looks a bit emptier. Although the trek was a bit exhausting we enjoyed it a lot- especially because we could see the local customs and way of life. Life in the mountain is very difficult, everything has to be brought up and back by porters. we were complaining about the weight of our backpack but those people need to have enough strength to bring everyday item to their homes. And surprisingly they do it with the smile on their face and great positive attitude.
