Day 4

Chamje to Tal



 This was a nice short hike to Tal where we decided to have a rest day to help Ben recover from his cold.  We hiked along the dusty road for a while, then crossed over to the Eastern side of the river amid one mule train after an other.



Tal, which means lake in Nepalese, is situated in an old lake bed that was created when a major landslide thousands of years ago dammed up the river.  The slowly filed with sediment over the centuries and is now a gravel meadow with the river meandering through it and the lovely town of Tal.  In reaching Tal we enter the Manang district
