🗺 📸 Panauti, a quiet, slow paced, no frenzy Nepali historic town for a change.

Não querendo generalizar, mas se há turista que literalmente se borrifa no resto são grupos de franceses, seja para locais ou outros turistas. Parece que estão numa pequena bolha francesa…

🗺 📸 Hike in the Kathmandu Valley countryside, to reach Namo Buddha, one of Nepal’s holy Buddhist places. Made me realize I still have things to do at Bodhanauth, let’s see if I can squeeze that when I returned to Kathmandu.

🗺 📸 Any city looks better by dawn, but Patan is really a place best seen under the first rays of light. Not only because the lack of tourists that haven’t arrived yet from the day tours from Kathmandu, but mostly from its slow awakening, with the daily routines coming to life, specially the visit to the temples at the beginning of the day.

🗺 📸 Just went for a quick night stroll around my hotel, for real!

🚶🏔️ Day 9 - Ghandruk to Nayapool

That’s a wrap! …on the trekking part.

🚶🏔️ Day 8 - Chhomrong to Ghandruk

Let’s just ignore the steep downhill and uphill midday, and focus on the bucolic countryside of Nepal that we started and ended the day.

The bliss of the first good hot shower in a week, one with a really good flow of warm water running on your back, is something you can’t really explain. Specially when you weren’t counting on it for today… 😊😊

🚶🏔️ Day 6 - Annapurna Base Camp to Dovan.

Time to leave the high peaks, with an early sunrise over the Annapurna, and move down, down, back to the forests.

Day 5 - Machhapuchhre Base Camp to Annapurna Base Camp.

A small climb between base camps, although any climb at this altitude can make you breed a lot faster, but the relatively short walk had plenty of mountains to show us!
