Day 8 - Dhampus to Phedi (end of trekking)

Nov 30 Mon – Had our last cup of coffee from Gelu and we headed for Phedi (1.30hour) Very pleasant walk and even stopped under a Bodhi Tree and let Jangbu practise “Fairy Tale” again. He tried to sing along but only managed the few lines in the chorus bit. "Chang kai suang sou…"

The last 30mins after we heard that the van has arrived and is waiting for us, we walked very fast and soon reached the van. That’s the end of our 8 days trekking at 11am in the morning. We will go to our Pokhara hotel and will continue the day’s itinerary of Pokhara sight-seeing.

It was such a wonderful trekking experience! Most of us had wished that our trekking would carry on, and personally I will return again for more trekking in Nepal for sure.

Our appreciation to our guide, assistant guide and all the porters for their warm friendship and attentiveness throughout our whole journey in Nepal. They have made our experience that much more fun and interesting. A note about the Himalayas and the environment. The snow on the mountain peaks are fast reducing and we can see many black patches on the mountain peaks. It won't take much longer before all these natural wonders loses its beauty before our eyes. We should all do our part to protect eco-environment, every little effort counts.
