Our journey from Bamboo to Deurali unfolds with anticipation and excitement. Setting off from Bamboo, we begin with a gradual ascent, immersing ourselves in the stunning natural surroundings. The trail winds through picturesque landscapes adorned with streams and waterfalls, offering moments of tranquility amidst the rugged terrain.

As we progress, the landscape transitions from lush green forests to more arid, grassy terrain. While the trail becomes more relaxed, we remain vigilant as we traverse a section known for its susceptibility to avalanches. Despite the thrill of adventure, we're treated to breathtaking views of Machhapuchhre and the majestic Annapurna, providing a glimpse of the awe-inspiring beauty that lies ahead. As the altitude gradually increases, we may begin to feel the effects of the elevation. It's essential to listen to our bodies and pace ourselves accordingly. Tonight, we'll find refuge in Deurali, surrounded by the tranquility of the Himalayan landscape, ready to rest and recharge for the adventures that await us. Overnight at Deurali.
