Trek Day - 22 > Gadi-Danda to Taplejung
On 5th Nov 2015 - After breakfast at 8:00AM we checked out of our Gadi-Danda Teahouse started out to Taplejung.
The shop on the G-Floor of our Teahouses at Gadi-danda
Today is just a short 2.5 Hours walk. Mostly along a tractor-road though we took shortcuts, wherever available, going down along the trail rather than the long switchback of tractor-road.
After descending down the long shortcut .... we reached this Tar Road of Taplejung at 11AM
Nearing Taplejung we found a shortcut path going off to the right directly to Taplejung rather than on going on the Tractor road. We reached Taplejung on this Tar road at 11:00AM. from here our Pathivara GH was just 15 minutes. We reached there too some pictures there on the balcony celebrating our successful 22 days trek.
Our Day-wise trek details are in the sub-page Menu links
