Day 12 Chitre to Nagathanti

Today we woke to a clear morning and were treated to views of the snow capped peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I mountains. We have our last day of climbing before we got to the peak at The before starting our downhill descent. Another slow few hours of climbing lots of stone stairs often being passed by groups of mules carrying building supplies or food to Ghorepani (as it can only be accessed by foot). The hard work of the mules and their herders is contrasted by the almost hypnotic and meditative sounds they make with their bells around their necks. We finally reached Ghorepani and then had a lovely simple lunch at a home restaurant and Lila had a play with their little girl and homemade swing. We decided not to stay in Ghorepani and had some tea whilst we experienced some monsoon downpour. Lila was very excited to done her wet weather gear and we started our descent through lovely forest before stopping for the night at the next village.Okumaya devam et
