Fabulous panoramic views will delight
us today, stretching away to the distant plains of India and
up to the massive bulk of the Annapurnas. We wake up in the
early morning to climb Poon Hill from where we will see the
Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Mustang Ranges. Then we set off after
breakfast towards Tadapani, through rhododendron forest, and
along a ridge trail with mountain views of the Annapurna all
the way. The trail then snakes through dense moss-covered forest
rich with bird life to Tadapani and beautiful sunset views of
Annapurna South and Machhapuchhare. A day in the Himalaya doesn't
get much better than this! |
