Day 6

Tal to Lower Danaque


The trail was more of the same...dusty dirt road, mule trains, few views.  We passed through pine forest at this elevation (2300meters).  As we arrived in Danaque we caught our first glimps of Annapurna III above the tree tops and another snowy peak to the south.  The lodge we stayed at was very picturesque, with our first encounter with fellow trekkers; two Brittish blokes.


The lodge owner gave us some hot coals to warm our feet and some home-made rice wine to warm our bellies!  We decided that we had had enough with the circuit and decided to head back out and try our luck with another trail called the Annapurna Sanctuary, because the trail, the views, and the colds, we getting worse not better with elevation!
