to reach it ! Slowly descending through rice
terrace, we cross the steel cable suspension bridge
across the glacial river of the Modi Khola and
commence od ascent. As we trek up the many
staircases, we contemplate the beauty of the
Himalaya at a relatively close range and imagine the
glaciers flowing from them to form the river below
us. It really is a magnificient location and a
photographer's delight. Our leisurely approach along
these ridges with their fine mountain views ensures
proper acclimatization and the un-hurried
apportunity to fully savour this magnificient
scenery. Stay at camp/lodge. |
