We arrived Shikha at 11:50am, me and my friend descend with our porter, others walking slowly behind together with our guide. Now that's the difference between occasion trekkers and non-trekkers, those at behind are complaining knees aching, and yet who don't want to depart earlier. So we decide to take our lunch in Shikha, others arrived after an hour later.

It's in the conjunction of Tihar Festival, so ladies and boys would sings and dance around the village.

The golden field
One of our porter - Sushil
One of the member suffer from knee injury, so he hired a house which cost RM200 to RM300 just for the 1 hour ride.
We are getting closer to Tatopani around 5pm.
Arrived at Tatopani by 5:40pm, in Nepali "Tato" meaning hot, and "Pani" means water, which name after the hot spring found beside the river. As it getting dark, we missed a chance to enjoy the hot spring here.
It's not a tough trek today beside the long distance descending, but others are suffer with knee ache.
Nepali celebrate Tihar in 5 days, tonight they celebrate it with lights, candles are everywhere around the village.
Our porter Sushil, who speak good English and he's also a very helpful person, now he is helping the group of students playing drum while the students are singing and dancing around the village to collect donation.
Songs and dances, everybody enjoy it.
Guides and porters gathered around, singing and dancing.
