10/23/2007-10/26/2007 - | Nepal  12► After Poon Hill I was trekking on my own, heading off towards Annapurna Base Camp. In the area right around Poon Hill there had been muggings in the past, and not wanting to have a repeat of my episode in Tibet I kind of hung around other groups during that stretch of […] 10/19/2007 to 10/23/2007 | Nepal  12► We moved a little slower through this section not because of weather this time but because Tom developed blisters on his feet. The slower pace was not a problem as it allowed us to spend a little longer in Tukuche sampling the various brandy flavors at the local distillery and an extra […] 10/17/2007 to 10/18/2007 | Nepal  12► Arriving in Muktinath was a welcome change after two days at the rather rustic High Camp.
