Nepal

its surreal

First night out. one of the first sighing of the Annapurna Range. See out little red tent! (actually, it's not little at all, quite long and comfy)

My internet connection is abit wonky.
So, here's abit on the Himalayan mountains now and more to come on the mountains and Kathmandu city later :)

We went on the Panchase trek. It's an easy trek by Nepalese standard(we suspect they could have completed the whole trek in 2 days max) but still proved to be much of an experience for us. Panchase is not as common as Poon hill and it's further by distance to the Annapurna range, but pretty all the same.

I guess i am overwhelmed.
Me, i was never a trekker (some friends will remember the screaming experience i had once in Hanoi and that was a 2 hour climb), so climbing this is kind of like a big deal to me. It's a good thing i actually went without thinking of whether i was even physically prepared.

My first sight at the snow-capped mountains after the first day's trek is engraved in memory. The sight struck me right in the face just as we rested for the day, it had rained and the clouds were starting to clear. All of a sudden, peaks of snow-capped mountains started unfolding before us one by one. You can imagine how excited i was. The same feeling i had when i first saw snow in Beijing (than, i simply ran out w/o my jacket just to stare at the sky falling it's first winter flakes. Crazy Singaporean girl)

Rise and shine at 5am day 3 of trek to watch sunrise atop Panchase
Chandraman (Moon man, translated in Nepalese) with me. A kiddish 43 year old Sherpa, took great care of us!
