The porters carried mostly our clothes/jackets, toiletries, healthier snacks (we couldn't get on the trail) and sandals. Two people shared one porter bag, so we each had to fit all of our stuff into one big duffel bag for our porter to carry. We each had our 3-liter water bladder. You can buy water at each of the tea houses. We either did that or used our water filters to filter water from the spouts available outside of the tea houses.

You did hike most of the Annapurna Circuit, but not all of it, even as it stands now. 160 km versus 320 km the true original AC Pokhara - Pokhara. Bhulbhule is a reasonably good starting point, but using transportation from Manang to Tatopani is cheating, as is not hiking from Ghorepani/Poon Hill to Pokhara via Ghandruk - Landruk - Tolka - Deurali - Dhampus. The route has been ruined by the road, having done it twice in the eighties and twice in 2006 and 2009 I think I am certified to say that.

@@HelenandTimTravel Circuit means a closed loop. If you look at any map, something like Chame, or even Bhulbhule to Jomsom does not even go around Annapurna 1 at all, and forms less than half of the true Circuit. There is a total inflation of classic treks. EBC used to take about 4 weeks, walk in/out. Noe people "do it" in 8 days flying out by helicopter. AC minimum 3 weeks Dukla - Pokhara and close to 4 weeks with Annapurna Sanctuary added. And some people claim to have hiked AC by only hopping over Thorong La. Foothill sections from Dumre to Chamje and Tatopani to Dhampu/Pokhara via Landruk are integral parts of the route. FYI: next time stay in either Ghyaru or Ngawal before Manang (I hope you walked the high trail at least), then there is no need to stay there 2 nights as those 2 villages are already higher than Manang.
