It would be mostly downhill today, but we were heading straight to Chame, which was two villages prior to Manang on the way up.  Because of this, we got up extra early for a 6.30am start.

It was a beautiful ride with much of the hillsides covered in snow, quite different to how they looked on the way up.  We had lunch in Pisang, where we stayed a few days previously, and then continued downhill. There was a massive landslide in the middle of the track, with large bulldozers at work clearing the fallen trees. They allowed our group to proceed over the slippery logs, but it was not was no easy feat with dozens of fallen trees and unstable rock underfoot.

When we got in to Chame, we had hot food, and for many of us, hot showers for the first time in 3 days. Bliss!

Bruce had been discharged from the local clinic and looked very bright considering his medical emergency only a couple days prior.
