Chomrong to Bamboo
 |
| Manchapuchre |
2353 stairs down to the river then up 1/4 of that again then back down to the river! This was a long day but not half so bad as it would be on the way back down the river because for us the 2353 stairs were going down, in 4 days we would be going back up them (that's when Ben counted them all!). After Chomrong we began to ascend the river valley that would lead us to the sanctuary in 3 more days of walking.
The whole way was jungle trail doted with some terraced fields, and stunning views of Manchapuchre, a sacred mountain to the Nepalese, translated it means fishtail. We arrived in Bamboo when there was still sun on the lawn and decided we should stop early to relax and enjoy the afternoon sun. The minute the sun went down it was frigid! We met our new friends, Andy from Germany, and Alejandro from Spain, who we would continue hiking with for the next 4 days.
