After another restful night (again on my part) we hiked through an amazing pine forest, up and down, and then back up again. The smell of pine was just amazing. It reminded me of childhood holidays camping in the south of france, thinking of these memories got me up a hideous climb to the tea break... where the tea shop was shut. We continued on above 3000 meters and came to lunch in a small village with rooftop restaurants and a view of Annapurna 2 and 4. W
It was a lovely spot in the sun.
After lunch was another few easier hours hike to upper Pisang where we spent the night. We arrived a little earlier than normal, around 2:30. Stephen went for a walk up to the monestery with dependra the guide. I started to get a bit of a headache, hopefully sunstroke not altitude, but decided to take some paracetamol
And rest up. Dinner was garlic noodle soup (apparently garlic is good for altitude) and then off to bed super early.
Total hike : 19km
Altitude: 3300m
this was a long hike, you clearly beginning to feel a bit under the weather here. At this altitude start of sickness? with all that walking too must be exhausting. well done though. Following route on google earthxx
