Day 05: Ghorepani -Tadapani

After two full nights spent at Ghorepani, we started to walk Tadapani in the early morning as usual time. We finished the way Deurali (including Deurali Pass -3090m) within one and half hour bit steep up, the Himalayan Ranges of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Dhaulagiri are on the left side. The view is excellent from the hill near Deurali Pass. We walked down by sleepery, muddy path through deep forests from Deurali. Along the trail we found Banthanti (2660m) and Tadapani (2630m). Don't confuse with this Banthanti because it is different than that Banthanti the way of Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani. This is also a good place to take lunch. It took us to reach Banthanti about one and half hour. Tadapani is not so far from here as we took the time of forty minutes to reach there. In total, it took us about four hours to reach Tadapani. From Banthanti, the trail is bit down and we have to cross one bridge and walk aout 25 minutes up then we reach Tadapani. The scene of the mountain ranges of Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, Annapurna ranges and Dhaulagiri etc. looks like very near and not much up from here. Overnight stayed at Himalayan Tourist Hotel at Tadapani.
