Oct 4...afterthe flight : Preparation for the first Trek to Phakding

The kitchen at Phadking!! The cook apologized for the mess!!!

A room with a view!! Our first Tea House which we thought was pretty basic... the best was yet to come!!!!!!!!


Crossing the Dudh Koshi River to reach the quaint village of Phakding. I would not see my first suspension bridge until tomorrow !!!!!!














Getting to know our crew that would be our lifeline throughout the Trek.






The excitment of starting the Trek still in the foothills and amongst the tree line we set off.







Preparing the bags and getting ready to Trek "down" to the GHAT Village at 8, 700 feet. As you stepped off the plane you could feel the altitude and momentarily take a few really deep breathes to catch yourself from gasping.
