attatactive Gurung village of Ghandrung. Unfortunately, we must
descend to the valley floor to reach it ! Slowly descending through
rice terrace, we cross the steel cable suspension bridge across the
glacial river of the Modi Khola and commence od ascent. As we trek
up the many staircases, we contemplate the beauty of the Himalaya at
a relatively close range and imagine the glaciers flowing from them
to form the river below us. It really is a magnificient location and
a photographer's delight. Our leisurely approach along these ridges
with their fine mountain views ensures proper acclimatization and
the un-hurried apportunity to fully savour this magnificient
scenery. Stay at camp/lodge. |
