11:50am We continue our trek after the lunch, the mountains have been covered by the clouds by this time, we only see them occasionally.
These are real jumping mountain goat, I've never seen a goat jumping that high.
She got a big plate! Perhaps just the plate is big.It's really common to see Nepali eating with hand, it is their culture, for some of them, the food taste less better if eating with spoon and fork.
An eye-catching house standing beside the river bank of Kali Gandaki River, doesn't it looks like the houses we used to draw when we were kid? The windows always grow above the door.
We have on and off walking on the bank of Kali Gandaki River today, pick a rock, who knows I might have luck to found a fossil?
1:30pm, one rather walking up and down from the river bank than trekking on the road eating dust like a vacuum.
Back on the river bank again, now we can take a closer look at the water to find out why it is in grey color.Scoop up the river water with hands, it looks like the water contains something like powder, so we thought it could be from the rocks.
I think this is fun, but not when you fall off into the river.
It seems like we have a long journey today, few of us walking ahead from the rest of the member. Hope that they will keep up with us, or else we might have to trek in dark before we can arrive Marpha.
Can you see it? The red down-curved bill? This is Ibisbill bird.Ibisbill is a bird living in riverbank of high plateau, they are typically found solitary during autumn and winter, they are generally not shy of humans and a good swimmer that prefer swimming to cross river rather than flying.

A beautiful mountains structure along Kali Gandaki River.
The sun is getting lower, guess everyone is going back to their shelter by now.
4:30pm, wind blowing stronger, everybody has put on their jacket, except our leader....Though it's slow slope before we can reach Marpha, but we are so tire after trekking for whole day.
Our guide Binay, he has turn into a tourist and also a photographer for these few days. That camera he's holding was belong to our leader, and that bag filled with camera gears was belong to the fellow at the right.
It seems like the sky turn dark faster in the mountain area, now we are cold and hungry.
5:20pm, we have just entered the village of Marpha, some of us almost collapse while they saw the village.
The houses we like Tibetan house, and there is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery here.
We arrived tea house by 5:35pm, the room is so big, and it come with attached bathroom. We take a very good warm shower, it's almost like a 3 star hotel in the mountain.
