Day-07 (11th Dec) Trek Bayeli to Tadapani Via Muldhai

We left Bayeli at 8:30AM after breakfast and started climbing to the Ridge above Bayeli. We need to cross over to the other side of that and then descend all the way to Tadapani.

But we will first stop at Dobato and take a side trip to a Ridge nearby, to visit the Muldhai View Point to see snow peaks and then get back to Dobato ... and then walk down via Isharu and Meshar villages to Tadapani. Its going to be a long trek today, but mostly downhill.

We reached Dobato at 10:05AM left our bags in a Teahouse there and climbed up to nearby ridge to Muldhai view point reaching at 10:50AM. Awesome clear day and great view of Annapurna range and Machhepuchhare from there. We got back down to Dobato at 11:40 and had the Dal-bhat lunch we had pre-ordered before going up.
