Lantang Trek. 4rd day Thadepadi- Phedi

4rd day Thadepadi- Phedi

10 kms(not sure).100 mts. Around 6 hours

We went through a very cloudy day. Johan would call it “Harry Potter land”. Again ups and downs, ups and dows. We in total we climbed 100 mts but there were more than 500 mts.

We arrived there, again the first ones, and there were only two lodges, one down in a valley and one up but both have an amazing views of the mountain. We could not see when we arrive due to the fog but could perceived somehow. We checked both and finally decided to stay in the one up because we though views would be better. Big mistake since it was the one with lower quality. Actually when I get into the shower I could have a strong smell to goat and no wonder way, later we found out they keep the goats on the shower for tourist.

This time we decided to socialize more and pay a visit to our neighbors, all the others (Belgiums, Spanish, Germans) in the other lodge. There we found a couple of Israelis that told they were lost in the forest and have to spend the night there..”oh” I thought “I hope that doesn’t happen to us” basically because I will die of cold and fear to find a wild animal on the way. That happened because they tried to cover to stage of the way in one day and end up with the night falling on them before reaching their destination. We should be realistic on our objectives, I also thought

Happily, the Nepalese decided to stay with us in the low quality lodge, so we did not feel so alone that night, having dinner with them.

It was an interesting couple, one very talkative one and one more silent, but both very nice
