Itinerary description

|
Show original
Today is a good time to get in touch with the ground and warm up muscles. It's very hot and sour and from Soti-khola we no longer find any more car since there are no roads, so we are all along the way as carriers like mules loading things.
There are also quite flies and mosquitoes all along the way.

The path passed along the Budhi Gandaki River that we will not leave until Samdo, 6 steps up. All the way is full of waterfalls, and paths exposed with large cliffs and hanging bridges.
On the way we also find house tea strengths and in about three hours we stop at lunch to take strength and continue.
We usually make lunch between 11 and 12, and it must be said that they take a long time since they are quite slow to serve. But in a hurry to get to the destination, we get used to fast stops to take tea, eat early and watch carefully all around us.
Due to the earthquake, we have to take a path that is more uneven than normal.

The first idea was to stay at Machha Khola, but we found a lot of people and the guide decides that Korlabeshi is better, it's early so we have no problem getting to the next town.
Korlabeshi is small but very welcoming, and the lodge where we are not electric light but have small solar panels, enough to illuminate the common area and spend the afternoon.
