Right underneath the main Annapurna peaks we've been hiking around for the past few weeks, the ridges, glaciers, and avalanche gullies are visible to the naked eye. It is very cold here. Contrary to the previous picture of hikers in shorts, we will wear almost every piece of clothing tonight in the MBC lodge. The plan is to hike from MBC early in the morning two additional hours up to Annapurna Base Camp, our final destination before turning around and walking out the way we came in. We walked from a bamboo jungle up and down along the side of a gorge the last two days, gradually increasing elevation to the alpine zone. It's a rigorous walk but our previous acclimatization is really helping as no ill effects from altitude.
