We got up early for a tough day ahead of us. Including a stairway of 3280 stone steps! and a elevation gain of 4200ft ! But with spectacular views along the way and a hike through a huge rhododendron forest. Arrived in Ghorepani (Alt. 8400ft) in the afternoon, exhausted but happy. OK, mostly happy about the end of today's hike ;) Since none of the Sunny Hotel rooms have heating and temperatures dropped to freezing point everyone huddled together in the tea house for the rest of the evening.
Frueh aufgestanden da wir einen harten Tag vor uns hatten
. Inklusive einer 3200-stufigen Treppe! und einem zu ueberwindenden Hoehenunterschied von 1400m! Aber dafuer auch mit spektakulaeren Aussichten und einer Wanderung durch einen riesigen Rhododendron Wald. Kamen am Nachmittag in Ghorepani (2800m) an, total fertig aber gluecklich. OK, am meisten gluecklich ueber das Ende der heutigen Wanderung ;) Da keines der Zimmer im Sunny Hotel ueber eine Heizung verfuegt und die Temperaturen sich Richtung Gefriehrpunkt neigten, hockten alle fuer den Rest des Abends zusammen im Teehaus.

Hey, I live at 8000ft, no need to fly to Nepal and get exhausted from walking in the park
