We all rise early at 5 to take our second attempt at a flight to Jomsom. The beautiful clear sky was opened up by a gorgeous sunrise over pokhara as we boarded our small tin can plane. As we took off the view through tr steamy window showed the pokhara houses getting smaller and smaller below us. The Annapurna peaks were so clear on our horizon, lining the views out of each window. Around halfway there was a bit of turbulance throwing our stomachs as we dipped. 20 minutes later we land in the petite airport with the most hilarious baggage claim area (pics to come). A short walk, we settle and have breakfast at nil guri view restaurant. A good bowl of muesli with hot milk. Perfect.

Once Marcy arrives, we set off on our first day (plus one) on our way to kagbeni. Following the kalagendaki river basin, we stay at a fairly steady altitude walking past various other intrepid travellers and nepalese farmers on donkey back. One jumped down and asked to get a photo with us which seemed a little serreal! Continuing forth we climb slightly steeper to the path leading up to kagbeni when we get cauht up in a yak traffic jam. Quality! We eventually reach our hotel around 12, the mustang yac donald hotel, and dive into some lunch. After a brief rest trying to get used to the altitude, we wander to z monastry built in 1423 with stunning views from the roof. After a hearty supper we all head to bed for an early ( and restless night).
