Day 06: Tadapani to Ghandruk

10 April, 2007
After taking breakfast at early morning as usual time, earlier than Seven, we walked down to Ghandruk. After about thirty minutes walk, we reached Bhaisikharka, small restaurants are available at Bhaisikharka and we took some tea and started our walk continuously. Nothing special view can be seen along the trail besides small hills and rhododendron forests. Somewhere, the trail is landslide and sleepeery as well. We found small restaurants on the way when we walked about 30 minutes down then we saw great view of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna, Hiunchuli, Annapurna South and small part of Dhaulagiri at our left side while we reached small pasture. The trail is sleepery and muddy after raining and snowing; there is one difficult step to cross so get help with your staffs or who will infront of you. After one hour fourty five minutes walk from Bhaisikharka, we reached Ghandruk. After lunch and nap, we excursed around the Ghandruk village (a park inside school, helipad and gurung villages. There is one museum as well where you can find some gurung materials and the entrance fee is about NRS30); Ghandruk village is the second largest village for the Gurung etnics. Some houses are traditional gurung types but most of others are mordern because most tourists are entered at Ghandruk village and people makes house as guest house style. As we reached earlier our today's stop point, we took two classes of first aid. Overnight stayed at Annapurna Guest House.

Some places along the trail: Tadapani -Bhaisikharka -Ghandruk (1940m)
