Annapurna 11 03 Manaslu Southwest Face From Chame Gyan asked me to wait for him in Chame (2710m) in case he would have trouble with the police. And it is a good thing he did because there's a magnificent view of the Manaslu Southwest face from here.

Annapurna 12 05 Annapurna II Full Summit Ridge From Ghyaru I decided to take the high route to Manang because it is supposed to be more interesting. From Pisang (3240m) I crossed the river and started the 450m ascent. On the climb from Pisang to Ghyaru, I had this great view of the full summit ridge of Annapurna II (7937m) to the southwest. Annapurna II was first climbed on May 17, 1960 via the West Ridge approached from the north by Chris Bonington, Richard Grant, and Sherpa Ang Nyima on a British/Indian/Nepalese team led by Jimmy Roberts.

Annapurna 12 10 Braga Braga (3500m) is a Tibetan-style village of about 200 houses hiding behind a photogenic steep, eroded rock outcrop. The houses are stacked one atop the other, each with an open veranda formed by a neighbour’s rooftop. The gompa is perched on a high crag overlooking the village, and is estimated to be 400 to 500 years old. The gompa comprises three main buildings and belongs to the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

107 Annapurna To Fang From Ridge Above Miristi Khola After crossing the Thulo Bugin, we finally crested the ridge of the Miristi Khola. I could finally see the Annapurna north massif from floor to ceiling - man, it's huge. Clouds and mist covered it for the most part, but the ridge from Annapurna Northwest Face to Fang peaked out once in a while for me.

Here is a view from Annapurna South to Fang to Annapurna Main (8091m), Central (8051m), and East (8026m) summits and the 7.5km long ridge to Roc Noir (7485m).

201 Annapurna Base Camp Before Sunrise - Annapurna III, Gabelhorn, Machapuchare Annapurna Sanctuary Base Camp is a collection of stone huts surrounded by mountains and glaciers at around 4130m. This was the site of Chris Bonington’s Base Camp for the 1970 British expedition that completed the first ascent of the Annapurna South Face. I was up early and walked in the -1C clear weather for ten minutes to the monument hill. Before the sun started rising, I looked back to the east of Annapurna Sanctuary Base Camp to see the ridge connecting Annapurna III (7555m) to Gandharva Chuli (Gabelhorn, 6248m) to Machapuchare (6993m).
