After a horrible night with hardly any sleep we left Bhulbhule at 8am and walked through terraced farmlands almost always uphill which was extremely steep and hard going with limited chances to stop. At one point we had to turn around and walk back and find another trail as the trail was being dug up and turned into a road for the next generation of trekkers in buses and cars.
We are still following the river and cross some very dubious looking suspension bridges.
We stopped at a local place for lunch which took ages to get served and our meals to arrive. We then set straight off for Chamye with an altitude of 1430m, which is still quite low so lots more uphills to go but we are surrounded by valleys and lots of hills all going upwards 🙁
We finally arrived at Chamye at about 4pm after a really long hard day. As usual I was nearly at the back of the pack but I made it (yeah for me). I was greeted by Santosh with a Sprite this now being the treat I am constantly craving.
We had a cold shower, the downside of arriving nearly last and after the sun has started to set, but we put on warm clothes and headed to the restaurant area which was enclosed.
We had a warming dinner and a couple of games of cards before retiring for the night.
