Day 3: Jagat to Dharapani (4,265 ft-6,102 ft)

Palms at 6000 feet.

The views keep getting better the higher we climb.

If I never see another landslide again, it will be too soon. The rain pounded away again last night, but by morning had disappeared, leaving blue skies and numerous landslides in our path. Today was our hardest day yet with seven hours of hiking up a steep canyon and an 1,800 ft gain in elevation. We have to concentrate on every step we take as the trail is basically a stream that we follow. Our persistently wet shoes and socks are wreaking havoc on our feet as we have to tend to have numerous blisters on each foot. However, we are rewarded with gorgeous views of the valley and countless waterfalls that present themselves.
