Have been spending the last few days wandering around Pokhara and its nearby villages. Definitely feel as if these past few days of relative inactivity has helped ease the muscular pains and bruises from the kayaking trip. Am now feeling all psyched up for my upcoming 10 day Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek. Leave first thing in the morning tomorrow =)
After only just purchasing a headlamp and walking stick (with much haggling involved), I think I’m all set gear-wise. Fitness-wise, I can only pray for now... only time will tell whether my bony legs will be able to carry me up to 4130m above sea level. Am currently thinking of my previous failed Mount Kinabalu ascent as my personal performance benchmark. Pray for me!!
Acknowledging my unfit/’couch potato’ condition, I rented a bicycle to exercise my muscle-less legs. RM 10 for two days =) Quadriceps are already hurting after only one day of biking around. Even worse, my bum aches so bad now! The cheap plastic seat compounded with the numerous potholes around Pokhara have left me walking funnily now @_@
Anyhoo… pics from Pewa Tal (the main lake around Pokhara), Begnas Tal (a smaller less touristy lake 45 mins away), Sarangkot (a small hilltop village) and some others are in the gallery. Will be back with more in 10 days!
