This first good 8 hours rather hard day led, with a hard rise, with the collar of Ghorepani, extraordinary view-point on Dhaulagiri. The path passes by the villages of Shuami, Hille and Tirkhedunga (1498m), then it climbs until Ulleri (2073m) by a long series of staircases (3767 steps! ).

Always in the forest, we pass by the village of Nayathanti (2606m) and one arrives finally at Ghorepani (2853m). The Nepalese met in the villages is really sympathetic nerves.
