Apparently the weather on the mountains has settled now, and the snow/landslides have stopped, so tomorrow my sherpa I set off on a trek around the Annapurna Circuit, which I am now aiming to complete within 18 days. The maximum altitude reached will be at the peak of Thorung La Pass, which at a height of 5416 metres above sea level stands as the highest publicly trekked mountain pass in the world. It's actually higher than the Mt Everest Base Camp, and has a realtive oxygen level of around 55% compared to sea level, so this bit will be taken a little slower.
I should (hopefully) be back in civilisation by about the 22nd or 23rd, so I will put up some photos and comments then. Wish me luck!
