Day 2: Ngadi to Jagat (3,051 ft-4,265 ft)

Our first lodge.

Waterfalls and cable bridges.

This trekking business is no walk in the park. We spent about six hours on the trail, winding our way up the Marsyangdi River valley, all the while scrambling over landslides and on many occasions, pausing to find the trail. We are starting to think that a guide might have been a good idea and a porter even better (the 10-15 kg backpacks make the scrambling over boulders a lot harder). We are so glad to have our walking sticks for that extra point of balance.
