In the morning we climb through forest to a small pass where there is a small cluster of tea shops. From here we can see the holy mountain of Pathibhara where animals are sacrificed in the months of October and November. From here it is a gradual descent to Suketar. Free day in Kathmandu. The day begins early with a wake-up cup of tea and bowl of warm washing water.
Kitbags are packed and made ready for the porters who leave before breakfast.
Meanwhile breakfast is served in the dining tent and consists of porridge or muesli, omelette, fried or boiled egg and chapatti, parantha, or the delicious Tibetan bread. The mornings walk lasts for 3-4 hours with a hot lunch served en route. The afternoons walk is generally shorter and allows time to relax in camp or explore the surroundings. Dinner is taken at around 7.00pm and consists of soup,followed by a pasta, rice or potato based dish, and dessert. Catering for vegetarians is no problem.
