Deurali-Chhomrong
My stomach had been so painful since the day before. Instead of going to Machhapuchhare Base Camp (3,700m) and Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m), we decided to go down to Chhomrong (8hours). It was a tough decision. Both of us wanted to reach ABC for it will be our first time to see the sanctuary. But it would be too irresponsible if we insist to reach ABC. Prevention is better than cure.
Heading back down the valley was much easier (7:00am). Some rocks can be very slippery due to the glaciated rocks but we handled it very well. The temperature was cold--- below 0 degree Celsius.
We retraced our steps to Dovan and continued to Bamboo for 4 hours. We reached Bamboo at lunch time and decided to just have cookies. My stomach was getting better and it made me move faster. Then we continued walking, making a long, steep climb back to the top of Chhomrong. We wanted to stay at International Guest House but it was full. So we stayed in Excellent View Top Lodge. I was surprised because there were a lot of tourists. Three days before, there were only 4 guests in the lodge and the place was really quite.
