Trekking to Poon Hill volume #2

Day 2 - Thinkenhunga to Ghorpani (2750m)

Morning view outside our Lodge, herds of mountain goat already on their way down before we start ours

The next day, we got up early in the morning to wash up and breakfast and while waiting for our breakfast, we watches how mountain goats are being treated here, both Julie and I were heart broken when we witness the Lodge lady beating the passing by goats using a very thick stick, she hit till the stick broke! we think that is quite too much...
Right after breakfast, we started our trek to Ghorepani at about 8:20am.

While waiting for herds of mountain goat to pass, we all rested. This dog follow us up a few hill before he disappear to don't know where
We were standing by the cliff side, watching how these goats are being brought using another way down the suspension bridge
See the white dog, he will walked and rest as we do!

Mountain goats causes quite a bit of delay during our trek today, we constantly need to stand aside to wait for these furry animals to past before we could continue to trek, saying that this gives us lots of opportunity to take a breather to look at the beautiful surrounding areas.
Herds of mountain goats that got frighten to have meet so many foreigner 
Locals are trekking up and down the hill to get to their school daily! Impossible for them to have excess body fats...
Rays shines in to make the scenery even more beautifully stunning!
Conquered the hardest 2.5 hours uphill, we successfully arrived at Ulleri 2010m

Some abandoned structure
Trekking into the forest starts here. I would imagine these donkey has shorter life span since they work so hard...
A little baby peeping out from a tea house where we rested
Spotted others who stack stones :)

This stretch of stream is so beautiful - beyond description!
Simple mountain life


A very good looking dog snoozing at the tea house that we had lunch!
Julie's plate of egg curry rice - she have had this for many times!
My second and last bowl of noodle soup aka instant noodle soup

Love this huge herd of mountain goats scattering around
Arrived Ghorepani 2750m - we stayed at the lower Ghorepani because our guide could not get us a room in the upper Ghorepani
