Day 11

Kara to New Bridge First day of the Annapurna Sanctuary trek






The first day of our new trek to the Annapurna Sanctuary started with a splendid view of the range at a place called Australia Camp, already this trek was proving to be a whole lot better than the circuit had been.  We hiked through many quaint villages all with mountain views, then up over the hill and into the jungle along a slippery schist staircase to another beautiful town full of flowers and more mountain views...We then descended to the river and crossed a very old rickety bridge with a slight tilt to one side, and arrived at New Bridge and our guest house for the night. 

Typical Gurung house
All the trails were stone...and lots of steps!
