The village is called SWAT, and is in the foothills of Annapurna South.
I love to get there, because then we have left behind the hardest stages of the trek. It has ended the bitter cold, wind, walks always up, always more, poor sleep and freezing at night.
Just before the people, a couple of hours of walking, is the main way Round Annapurna. The "pilgrimage" of trekking, countryside and beach from the mountains ... Swat
But even this out and away from all that. No tourists, no tea houses with banana crêpes, nor children who reach out to beg.
Swat is just a small town the Himalayas. Magar people inhabit it, has yellow mustard fields, a pair of temples, a small field of newly constructed football, corn, houses with porch, wary grandparents and children friendly.
Nothing to do there. If anything a walk before sunset, recovering life such as snails in the sun, chatting with the locals ...
There is a small inn with 3 sisters nice and red like apples. Very pretty. Always invite me into the kitchen, where carriers are already racksi drinking and smoking. I feel the warmth of the coals and drink liquor with them smiling.
Last October the group was tired and happy people. We barefoot walk on fresh tiles, we sat down with narrowed eyes at the sun and we got a hand of beer ...
Everest Beer is one of my favorites among all of Asia. It's light and sound. It also comes in a 625 ml bottle. with an evocative label, which is seen capping the Everest Tenzing Norgay. I love it!
some momos That day we serve it took forever. When they arrived we were singing "Asturias patria querida" ...
Still worth it. It was the first time I ate momos of buffalo jerky. Usually filled with chicken or vegetables, but the girls used all they had in hand, the sukuti massu, dried meat prepared every Dasain ( remember ...).
Momos, spicy tomato achar, Everest beer and the sun begins to hide behind the Daulagiri.
Ummmh that day rich ...
