On 16th Oct 2015 - After breakfast we started trek at 7:00AM and set out for the 2nd day's trek with a plan to reach Phumpe Danda.
Climbing up to Kande Bhanjyang .. Roger and Bill in Pic
It was a long trek day with lots of Ups and Downs. After climbing to Kande-Bhanjyang, we went through some thick forests to reach the Khesuwa village around 8:30AM.
At around 1PM we stopped at Phung-Phung Danda for lunch and Manzey got his ready-mix "Khara Bhath" packet out and got it cooked in a Tea House and we had that for lunch here.
We go downhill to cross a Log bridge on a fast flowing stream
We re-started trek at 2:00PM and after 1 Hour, just as we reached Pangyang at 3:00PM, it a started raining .... and so we decided to stay here instead of going on to Phumpe-Danda (as was our plan) which was still 2 hours away.
Robbie decided to pitch his tent in the Lawn of the GH and sleep there for the night.
We had some whiskey in the evening (brought by Manzey from Bangalore) and then Dal-bhat for dinner at the Teahouse.
