WE woke up at 7 and ate an apple pancake and green tea. Today was going to be a hard day with 7 steep hills to conquer in the sun. I told Madhu that I would make it but unfortunately I got my period. We ended up waling only 2 hours to a town called TAl. It is a nice village right next to the river. I spent most of the day doped up on Advil and sleeping. Maadhu was sick as well. We fell asleep to the roaring river in front of us and the whoosh of a waterfall behind us.
Day 4 Dimang
Oh glorious hills, steep hills!!! We tried to make t to Chame but we were both still sick. We decided to stay at a guest house in Dimang instead. I saw countless waterfalls and the sky got closer and the mountains bigger. We went up a steep hill where I shared a slender path with some donkeys. I huffed and panted my to the top. It was by far the steepest hill yet and I noticed that my right arm was swollen. We were only at around 2000 meters at this point. The locals said I might have been bitten by a horse fly. We made it to the nicest guest house et. A hot water bucket shower felt amazing and the blankets were clean. An amazing view of Manaslu from out window greeted us in the morning. We got to know our fellow guests, a 72 year old who's already been to Everest base camp I ate scrumptious Tibetan bread and honey for breakfast.

I wish I could be there
The views have to be impressive and the experience of climbing must be unforgetable ( in spite of phsical pain).
