and the way down...

the night before ABC i  and many other people, some tourists, but mostly nepalis, slept in the dining room because all the lodges close to ABC were overbooked. some of the nepails work as guides, others as porters - they carry the bags of the tourists. they said its between 35 and 40 kg, and it looks like this:

porter


the way was always down to the river...
...and on the other side...

...up again
on the 4th day i went via chomrong and padapani to gorepani, which is actually on the annapurna circuit trek.  in the morning i went up poon hill for sunrise...

annapurna in front, machhapuchhare "fish tail" in the back

down the valley, my way for the last day

dhalaugiri on the right side, 8.167 m

it was cold

dhaulagiri  again
...now on the left, annapurna on the right

down again, into the jungle

"animals of the jungle"

working on the rice field

cutting rice


preparing the rice...

...to be brought away

unfortunately this place was closed!

a last look back into the valley
today i booked a bus to ambassa, next to bardia national park,westnepal, asia! i will go there tomorrow, about 15 hours bus ride...i wonder how i will feel after that! i will spend some time in the park, hopefully seeing many animals - but being safe!! and after that i will probably go straight to india.
