We head back for another rise through the hills back to pokhara, a speedier journey due to the lack of cars on the road for the mainday of the Dashain festival we get there in speedy time. Whilst out getting out last few trekking bits the heavens open and flood the street around us. We ran ov er to a local bar and enjoyed an ice cream laden espresso. We leave just in toimr to catch up with the group (slightly damper) before an early night.
