The views of the Annapurna ranges and others are extraordinary from the summit. We return to the base camp for an overnight stay.Included meals:Breakfast Lunch Dinner

The trail further passes near the small village of Ghunsa, a cluster of flat mud roofs just below the trailhead. Now the trail goes through meadows where horses and yaks graze. After crossing a small river on a wooden bridge, the trail passes an ancient old Mani wall in a pleasant meadow and then reaches another small village of Yak Kharka. Small but gradual ascent is the key to avoiding altitude problems.Included meals:Breakfast Lunch Dinner
