Tell A Tale

A must try item from Meat Theory.

'Cattle Battle' consists of different cuts of beef steak and sausages. Comes with 3 side dishes and 2 dipping sauces.
Price is around 6k.
Can easily be shared by 3 to 4 people.
Highly recommended.

Place: Cafe Dolce
Address: Dhanmondi, 9/A Satmasjid road, Gawsia twin peak, house 42/43, Dhaka.

The ambiance and the food (desserts and mostly their drinks) are topnotch. I have been a regular to this café ever since they opened and therefore, got to try almost half of their menu. The servers are well trained as well. Although their price is on a higher range, I have found the quality to be amazing. Quantity, on the other hand, might not be sufficient for many.

Name of the items and prices are mentioned below each picture.

Hello fellow trekkers!
We as a couple, just completed our Annapurna base camp trek . Our trekking period was from 13th to 20th September, 2023. There are few important points we would like to mention for any interested trekkers who are willing to go for ABC trek.
1) Our trekking route started from Jhinu (we skipped Ghandruk due to high leeches attack specially as it was still rainy season here).
2) It's better to buy your gears from Bangladesh as it's more expensive in Nepal.
3) We were lucky to find a person called Mr. Bikash (manager of hotel middle-path and spa. +977 981-5173213 this is his number, he is available in WhatsApp), who arranged an affordable transportation till Jhinu and also a porter for us (Navindh da, who was amazing).
4) It's better to buy snickers bars in bluk from Bangladesh as it gets quite expensive as you go up.
5) Purchase Aqua tab in advance from Pokhara as filtered water is very expensive in the trekking route.
6) Food gets more expensive as you go up so it's better to carry light snacks (as a couple our cost per day in each lodge was around 5k including WiFi, hot shower, food and accommodation).
7) Most of the lodges were clean but it's better to carry a sleeping bag as some might not.
8) To prevent AMS, drink at least 5 litres of water, take their garlic soup and breathe through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
9) Carry an oximeter (it saved one of our lives).
10) If you get AMS attack, do not sleep or lie down. Instead, sit in a comfortable position and keep taking deep breaths and exhale from the mouth.
11) Don't rush to complete your journey. Enjoy the trek and support/motivate each other. It's an easy 6 days trek, but do take time if needed.
12) Keep your oxygen level in check, especially from Deurali to ABC, as you will gain altitude very rapidly.
13) If you face AMS attack, come down few meters, take rest and try to adjust your body to the high altitude and then go up.

Knock us if you need any kind of information. We would be happy to help. Safe travels.
