At low camp, we can also enjoy the Machhapuchhre Himal (Fish Tail Mountain) view.

After breakfast, we’ll take a step towards low camp and continue our ascending journey.

The more we travel to higher altitudes, the more the natural beauty of the Mardi Himal will gradually be replaced by a more barren land.

After breakfast, we will start hiking to the upper viewpoint. The trail is hilly and thus more physically challenging than the previous walks, but it’s worth it because we will get to see and experience the beauty of this trek. We will get a clear view of Annapurna, including Himchuli Peak, Singachuli, Gangapurna, and Machhapuchhre.

After breakfast, we will leave High Camp and head towards the Siding Village. Most of the trail for the day gradually descends in the shade of dense forest.
