Final Trek Day



We were scheduled to take 2 more days to get to Jomsom where we would catch a flight out to Pokara, but we had heard from other trekkers that it was easily possible to make it in one day. So we changed our plan and head directly to Jomson. It was fairly easy going, some of the way on a dirt road and part on a rocky riverbed. The wind picked up slightly in the afternoon (which is why the guide typically likes to split the journey into 2 days) but not really that bad. We made it into Jomson early in the afternoon and walked through the entire village to our teahouse which was within walking distance of the airstrip. We were going to try to get on an earlier flight and our guide went off to see if he could arrange that. Sahadev was to head out early as he had to walk the rest of the way rather than fly. It would take him 2 days. Typically this would take trekkers 4 days. We were happy to be flying the rest of the way.
