Day 07: Ghandruk -Kathmandu

11 April, 2007

We woke up earlier than six in the morning. Jason took some photos of Annapurna South and mine on the background of Annapurna South. Tea was ready and I took tea then we waited for breakfast. The breakfast was arrived for foreigners lately at around 07:10 AM but we still waited for ours. We waited our breakfast till 07:45 but not arrived then we decided to avoid it. After we carried our baggage, they came with their breakfast. I couldn’t have changed my decision and waited outside of the guesthouse until two of others took (That was next example of porter discrimination, I had get -some staffs were saying that it is normal in trekking route and I also took it easily) then walked down towards Syaulibazar and I took some coconut crunches as a breakfast while others were taking water break. The trail is almost downhill and nothing interesting views can be seen besides the village terrace. We reached Nayapul around 11AM; Nayapul is the trek ending point from where trekkers used to take either taxi or bus to Pokhara. After forty-five minutes drive by taxi from Nayapul, we reached Pokhara at 11:45AM and proceeded to end the trek. We said goodbye to Jason & Lindsay after we reached the same hotel where they had lived before. After some minutes, both of them (Jason & Lindsay) came towards us and said that they forgot to give “Some Tips” to us, which we hadn’t expected because that trek was a volunteer trek itself. We became happy and gave thankful from our hearts of their respect towards staffs. Then we took local bus to Kathmandu same day and reached Kathmandu in the evening.
