This morning, we woke up to bright sunshine! After a traditional Himalayan breakfast (burnt toast, omelet, porridge with fruit and milk, Tibetan bread, and ginger tea), we left Bandal Danda Camp and headed toward Sidhing Camp.

Today’s trekking was quite different from the previous days—only descending. We went from 3,200 meters down to 1,700 meters. Our porters did a marvelous job carrying our bags; one truly has to admire their strength.

Today, we met some very friendly dogs—many of us were just as happy as the dogs to see each other! We also encountered a buffalo with its calf. They were less enthusiastic about meeting tourists, but still calm and gentle.

Upon arriving at our final teahouse/hotel, we were served a delicious dal bhat.

In the evening, we held a small ceremony to express our thanks and gratitude to all the porters and Sherpas who made this journey possible.

Namaste 🙏
