2nd Day of Trekking


It rained a lot overnight and continued throughout the morning. After breakfast, trekkers started departing the homestay with their individual guides. Today, everyone chose the easy path. Our path was often flooded and had some raging water to cross. Early on we cared about wet feet trying to finagle rock paths in the streams but by the end, it was a lost cause.  We had been wondering why we packed the ponchos but were really glad we did.  They were big enough to cover us and our backpacks. After walking a few hours we stopped for lunch and met up with many of our homestay group. Trekking in this area is a popular attraction.  The rain did not stop the sellers but we did not buy a thing.
Even bikers find ways to stay dry, using ponchos and umbrellas.

A rock with magical powers, folklore.
Hot ginger and lemongrass tea to warm the inside

Riding on narrow mountain paths is normal.
