Day 8 - Ngawal - Braga (3360m/11,034ft) November 6, 2001
|
|
|
 |
Today we were afforded great views of Annapurna III (7555m/ 24,787ft) |
|
|
|
 |
Not far out of Ngawal we took a tour of a large monastery/school. After leaving generous donations we took a group photo on the grounds |
|
|
|
 |
Just past the monastery I seized the opportunity to attempt a cheesy duplication of the Jamie McGuiness cover photo of the Bryn Thomas guidebook "Trekking in the Annapurna Region" *Put your mouse over the photo* |

On the move towards Braga |
|
|
|
 |
There were rock formations you would expect to see in the Italian Dolomites along the way |
|
|
|
 |
Camp at Braga, with the 600 year old gompa above the town Braga was a good choice, less crowded than bustling Manang 15 minutes up the trail (the standard Lonely Planet stop) |
