We crossed the Thorung La early this morning. This is the highest pass on the Annapurna circuit at 5413 m
It was exhausting work plodding uphill for over 3 hours, but once there we all felt fine.
We waited at the pass for an hour, taking pictures and waiting for another in the group before heading down the other side.
In a couple of hours we had dropped 1700 m. Feet and knees were feeling it.
We're now in Muktinath for the night. The official trek is nearly over but I still have another couple of weeks here to explore.
It's cold here but I remind myself that we're at 3700 m still. We drop another 1000 m tomorrow to Jomsom. Most of the group head home and Joel and I start our own exploring.
Hopefully now that we are back in "civilization" posts and pictures will be a bit more regular.
