Back From the Trek! And day 1

We are back in Pokhara after successfully completely and enjoying our four day trek! This was the second time I did this trek so didn't feel the need to take many landscape photos but was able to concentrate more on people. Day One started in Nayapul and ended in Ghandruk. It is hard to calculate the exact mileage as there are thousands and thousands of steps that wind this way and that. It was very hot and humid. We trekked for a few hours with several rest breaks, stopping for lunch for a couple hours. We had fabulous ramen soup and tea which was seems odd given the temps but revived us all. The afternoon was spent climbing those aforementioned steps. We arrived at Meshroom Tea House in Ghandruk about 6:00. We had some free time, dinner and I think everyone was asleep well before 10.

Off we go!
