Waiting early in the morning at rooftop and hope to get the sight of the fishtail hit by the 1st light. Too bad, the weather is not that good.

After taking breakfast at the hotel, we depart to the starting point of our trek at Nayapul. Here on the van, wheat field that turns to golden color are all along the way, and we managed to catch a glimpse of Machhapuchhre - the Fish Tail peak.

Ready to start the trek with a day pack on my back, and don't forget the bundle of joy and bundle curiosity.
