Caroline's 'planned' Trek itineraries.

Here's an idea of the planned itineraries for both my treks; it's give or take a day.

**Annapurna Circuit( approx 300km/187m): Start date April 19:
I would like to do this in a day less (mainly to have an extra rest day between treks!), so this itineray could change quite a bit, but then again I may stick to just this.

Day1: Pokhara - Besishar (by bus) / Besisahar - Bhulbule
Day2: Bhulbule - Jagat
Day3: Jagat - Tal
Day4: Tal - Chame
Day5: Chame - Pisang
Day6: Pisang - Ghyaru - Braga (high trail)
Day7: Ice Lake sidetrip - Manang
Day8: Manang - Yak Kharka
Day9: Yak Kharka - Thorung Pedi
Day10: Thorung Pedi - Muktinath (Thorung-la pass 5,415meters/17,769feet)
Day11: Muktinath - Jharkot
Day12: Jharkot - Marpha
Day13: Marpha - Kalopani
Day14: Kalopani - Ghasa
Day15: Ghasa -Tatopani
Day16: Tatopani - Shika
Day17: Shika - Ghorepani
Day18: Ghorepani - Tikhedunga
Day19: Tikhedhunga - Nayapul (transport back to Pokhara).

**Everest Basecamp Trek (approx 110km/70m): Start date May 9 or 10.

Day1: Fly to Lukla / Lukla - Phakding
Day2: Phakding - Namche Bazar
Day3: rest day for acclimatization (if needed)
Day4: Namche - Tengboche
Day5: Tengboche - Pheriche
Day6: Pheriche - Dughla
Day7: Dughla - Lobuche
Day8: Lobuche - EBC (5,360meters/17,600feet)

I then stay in the Alpine Ascents camp; wait for the Climbers to do their thing and then hike out with the Expedition team.
