Annapurna Circuit: day-2

**Ulleri (1,960m) to Shikha (1,940m)**

Breakfast.

8:00 - Started walking.  
I found mountains to the far north from the guesthouse.

13:00 - Climbed up to Poon Hill (3,200m) on a long staircase.  
My guide joined me later.  
It’s a great viewpoint, but it was mostly cloudy today, so no photos.  
We stayed there for about 20 minutes.

13:30 - Had lunch at a cafe.  
Another long walk followed.  
I tried to reach Tatopani, but it was already past 16:00 when we arrived in Shikha.

17:00 - Arrived at Shikha.  
Stayed at See You Lodge in Shikha.  
Dinner: Dal Bhat with chicken.

Total cost: 2,450 Rs (stay, dinner, and breakfast).

Health check:  
- SpO2: 98%  
- Heartbeat: 68 bpm  
- Temperature: 35.9°C (normal values at 0m altitude)

In the morning, I saw a snowy peak to the north, likely Annapurna South.
