-- Craving the indulgence of our esteemed Moderator, (for whom no-one has an higher regard than me:
), I am posting the flg. OFF-Topic note re the
ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT -
- The ANNAPURNA CCT. is one of NEPAL'S,(& the world's), most famous treks; the hike to the main pass usually takes some
dozen days; but in
2012. a new road will
OPEN, reducing the time to just a
couple of days of easier riding.
- While the new rd. will open-up the pass to many MORE people and open the area to new tourism yet the trek's reputation as a trail of
camaraderie and of tea-house-stops will be over-shadowed by the clouds of dust from passing vehicles.
- The beauty of the trek is that it is always easy-going enough to cater to all levels of outdoors' enthusiasts.
