1. Plan your trek properly, and be flexible3 Sisters Adventure Trekking
The next day’s hike up and down to Chommrong was a bit challenging due to an ascent of over 1,000m after a lazy lunch but we made up for it with a very short hike to Dobhan the next day, where a very hot shower waited and we could rest up for a whole 14 hours before hitting the road to Deurali. That meant another relatively short day where we had another full afternoon to relax and drink tea in the sun. We started taking a dose of acetazolamide from Dobhan, which sits at 2,500m.
The walk first from Deurali to Machhapuchhre Base Camp, the most beautiful part of the trek, for an early lunch of spicy Korean noodles to help ease the phlegm and then on to Annapurna Base Camp was surprisingly easy and without incident, apart from the occasional loss of balance on icy patches. We were at ABC just after lunch and spent the afternoon outside taking pictures before the cold brought us in for coffee and snacks.
