A steady climb through dense rhododendron and oak forest on an old Himalayan trade path — moss-covered trees, waterfalls and cool mountain air.

Small teahouses and occasional clearings with views toward snow peaks. Ghorepani is a historic settlement on a ridge beneath the surrounding summits.

Early dinner and preparation for the sunrise hike to Poon Hill.

Tip: Nights are noticeably colder now — keep warm layers easily accessible in your daypack.
