| First view of the Ganesh Himal |
The day started bright and clear for what was going to be a long day of walking.
 |
| Do we have to cross that? |
Steep side valleys with distant views of snow covered mountains led to an area of massive landslides.
 |
| Rockfall |
At the end of the rockfall area we had to cross the river on temporary bridges, no getting mules across this section!
 |
| New "bridges" over rockfall |
The rocks in the river at this section all looked new, probably caused by the earthquake. After the bridges we dropped back down to the river and it appeared that we had crossed the worst and were nearly at our destination for the night.
 |
| The start of the final detour of the day |
Wrong! we were on the other side of the river to the old path, which had been washed away.
 |
| looking back down to the river |
Nothing for it but to climb a long way up the hill on a new path to a village before dropping back down to river level.
 |
| Some detour this, now it's back down to the river |
A good hour and a half detour which meant that we arrived at Jagat (alt. 1410m) just as it got dark.
 |
| Home sweet home........for the night |
The poor porters had got lost and finally arrived after another hour!
