Somerville House Team B, Nepal - Update # 3

An update from the team after their trek through the Annapurna ranges

After a busy and exciting day in Pokhara featuring an early start to our trek with the hike up to the World Peace Pagoda we set off by bus to the start of our 9 day adventure. With the help of our guides Nima, Purna, Bema and Dumdin and all the team from Summit Trekking we all had an amazing time that will be remembered long after we have (finally) washed the dirt from our bodies.

Highlights:
- The amazing views of the Annapurna ranges that made trekking up several thousand stairs and aching muscles all worth it.
- The awesome food courtesy of our legendary cook, Hem.
- The dance party with the team on the last night.
- The hilarity of getting lost in translation
- Partying with local youth at one campsite
- Cheat, UNO and Yahtzee- played spiritedly by Sonja
- Washing of our 'tans' in a stream
- Making friends with 'Bernard' the dog

Special mentions:
- Cass and Emily: tor their awesome efforts despite feeling sick.
- Izzie: for pulling through her homesickness and not being able to call home
