Thank you, Michael.
I believe that Vivek used his staff by carrying it tilted across his body, the top of the staff pointing upwards towards the side of the drop-off, and planting the bottom on the other side. (The drop off on the left, means the staff is planted on the right, and he’d lean into the staff in that direction.)
So he was actually using the staff, not getting it out of his way.
And you’re correct–the paths weren’t extremely narrow…but they were narrow enough for me.

Every detail was taken care during my trip, i might recommend third rock for those who are looking for Annapurna trek. ain’t for promotional purposes I am spreading the word out here, just need to share my best experience & they did organize best for me.

Hi David,

Well, to be honest there aren’t very many areas you that you will be walking on a super narrow ledge, so it never really became a problem, however in the last couple of days there were a couple of tight spots. What i did then is used my scarf to make a sling for the pole, and just stuck it between my back and my backpack for small bits of time.

My guide (a young man from Darjeeling) showed me what he called the traditional way of using the staff he, like you, picked up at the beginning of the trek. I’d love to have a video of this, or a photo, or even a verbal description. Thank you! Very nice description of your wonderful journey.

Glad you both adapted rather than forcing yourselves to stick to the plan (“Amy and her horse”!)

I too walked with a bamboo pole from day one. Who knows, maybe they were from the same grove.

Cheers, Freddie

I can believe the pristine vistas that must have been home for 2 weeks! But suitcases , really ? People are sometimes nuts. I had trekked for 4 days with family in pristine himachal using a trek organiser. I saw that this generates income for local people who are better climbers than tourists but we should be cognisant of the humane factor too! Hopefully one day I can do this circuit !
