Day 03:Tikedhunga-Ghorepani

07 April, 2007

After our breakfast earlier than seven in the morning, we started our trek by walking uphill of Ulleri. It took us about one hour to reach the top of Ulleri -Steeply up way. Then we climbed gently through pastures and cultivated fields, which soon give way to deep forests as teh trail climbed to Banthanti, a settlement of hotels, the appropriate place for lunch. After finished the place Banthanti, we were starting to walk Nangethanti (a rest house in a forest clearing at 2460m) by magnificient oak and rhododendron forests. It took us to reach Ghorepani about one hour from here. We saw some parts of Poonhill near from Ghorepani. As this is my first trip and second day of trekking, I felt myself, why these crazy guys are walking that much uphill and downhill until we reached Ghorepani because we couldn't see any scene of mountain ranges along the way. We registered the permit number at teh checkpoint at Ghorepani and walked towards our guesthouse named Kamala Lodge, Deurali, Ghorepani. We can saw the Annapurna South in from of us then others mountains such as Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Tukuche, Hiunchuli etc. from Ghorepani. Overnight stayed at Ghorepani.
Some place along the trail: Tikhedhunga -Ulleri (1960m) -Banthanti (2210m) -Nangethanti (2460m) -Ghorepani (2860m)
