The clouds had cleared over night, and we descended through the last mossy rhododendron forest,
and along a clear creek, where Andy built an Inukshuk!
We reached Ghandruk around noon, and it started raining, just as we reached the hotel - again perfect timing by Yogen. We relaxed after lunch, and then Yogen walked us through the village, which is mainly inhabited by the Gurung people, who are of Tibeto-Burmese origin. We visited the Gurung museum and learned how they lived, and many of the tools and crops exhibited there are still used today.
The blackboard in the next photo got covered in ash, and then the student would practice writing the letters or numbers by writing in the ash, then scrape it off and apply new ash.
Bamboo grows really fast here, and it is used for many things. This time a cute plant box.
We shared the trails with mules and people transporting food and wood to the villages.
The rest of the afternoon was spent sleeping, reading and just relaxing, and we all enjoyed an afternoon off our feet.
