Day 5: Dharapani to Chame

After another night of rain, we awoke to wall to wall blue skies in the beautiful valley of dharapani. It had snowed higher up overnight so the mountains looked stunning, and the pine Forrest lining the sides.

The trail started flat for anound half and hour before a short trail down then up up up steps for some time. It felt a little easier than yesterday, and today there were lots of other hikers on the trail the same speed as me. And some slower. That kinda helped after the low of yesterday. 

We stopped for tea and biscuits with the most stunning mountain views. Lunch was only half an hour later on the rooftop of a tea house with 360 degree views of mountains.

After lunch the trail headed down then up (always) through a line Forest which smelt divine. We saw the peaks of Annapurna 2 and 4 in the distance. 

We continued along the road eventually ending up at Chame for the night, a slightly bigger village at 2670 meters. 

Tonight will be birthday celebrations for Stephen!

Total distance : 16km
