Back in Pokhara!

Wow! What a fantastic experience!! I have never done anything so rewarding or physically challenging!
We began our trek after an hour's taxi journey which took us up and around the foothills to the start of our trek at a village called NayaPul. We took our trekking pass and reported in to the office to let them know how long we were going to be in the concervation area for and where we intended to go. Then we treked for 7 hours (with a few stops at tea houses along the way for a refreshing drink of black tea- with lots of sugar in for energy!!) We arrived in a beautiful village set into the hillside called Gandruk. Strangly enough, we were asked by a Napalise guy where we lived in the UK. When we replied Derby , we were told the owner lived near Derby in a town called Belper!!! Imagine that!!!
The following day we hoped to walk to a village called Chomrung however, I think we had overdone it the previous day, without a porter or guide to help us, we found it very hard going up and down hills some of the steepest hills I had ever climbed so we stayed the night in a small local hamlet at the bottom of a very steep hill. We were so tired we could hardly eat our dinner!!
