International Grammar School Nepal Trek

We have arrived in Pohkara after completing a 7 day trek. All of us are resting as he trek was lots of fun but quite exhausting. On the trek there were some amazing views of some of the biggest mountains including Annapurna South and Machu Puchre, the mountain which has never been climbed before. We passed through many mountain villages, and although we slept all 6 nights in tents, 3 of the camping grounds were right next to village. On the first night, after a 600 meter climb we reached a camping ground which we shared with soldiers who were training. The camping ground was on the side of a hill and it had an amazing view, especially in the morning when the clouds had cleared. On the second night we camped in a bog. It was lots of fun. On the afternoon of the following day we got to Poon Hill, the highest point of our trek, at an altitude of 3.2km. We then walked down to a village called Ghorepani where we washed and camped. The next night we camped again in a village, this time called Tada Pani where we could wash again. The following day we walked down into a massive valley, and then camped halfway up the other side at Landruk. Finally we go to our last campsite at the Australian campsite, located 1 hour north of Dhampus. Today we walked down a long way to get to a wide valley floor from where we got a bus back to the Fairmount hotel in Pokhara.
