Day 1

We are now sitting on the little rooftop of our guesthouse enjoying a ginger tea after our first day of trekking!

We got the local bus to Nayapul and started walking from there. It was super hot and sunny, thank god for our trousers that zip off to shorts - yes we are looking very trendy these days...
First stop was Tikhedungga, which we reached in 2 hours. Slightly less than what our map and people had estimated so I guess we kept a pretty good pace. Had lunch there and then started ascending the infamous steps to Ulleri where we would spend the night. About 1.5 hours of steps going up up up up later, we finally reached Ulleri with very tired legs. Although the worst part was probably the mental bit, only seeing steps as far up as we could see and not knowing when they would finish.

But we made it in the end, and tomorrow's trek to Ghorepani is only meant to take about 3 hours, and we will spend the night there to see the sunset at Poon Hill the next day. So tomorrow should be an easy day!

It's breathtakingly beautiful up here, the air feels so clean and you can spot the snow covered mountains every now and then. Looking forward to see what tomorrow brings!
