For the next two days, it would be heading up, up and up to about 2800m - not much by Nepalese standards but more than enough for me! We passed by a few farms on plateaus with the Annapurna range in the background before heading up for more up.
All of the farms are family run, with even the youngest helping out before and after school.
The forests on the mountainsides were refreshingly shaded and lush, and alive with birds.
One of the small villages we would pass through.
A local primary school.
Terraced fields, and women carrying stones in baskets on their backs for the building of a new house in one of the villages.
Our tea house for the evening. Some evenings we spent in local inns, others in trekker tea houses (family homes with a few rooms converted for trekkers) and others in family homes.
Lunch would take about two hours from ordering, as everything was picked fresh from the garden right outside the kitchen and prepared from scratch.
Dal Baaht - the national dish of Nepal. Lenitils, rice and curry. We ate a lot of Dal Baaht and some were really delicious. Yes, I am eating curry!
Looking back on the villages we had passed through during the day's trekking.
Most evenings were spent hanging out with the local children. The girls were trying to teach me some local dances.
