Trek Day 4

I was woken 3 times in the night by, err well I guess there's no other way to say this, Earthquakes. At first I thought it was a heavy person rocking the floorboards, but then I realized all the dogs in the valley were going nuts so it clicked. I have been thinking about quakes as there due a big one here soon. Today I heard through the trekkers grapevine that’s there’s been a terrible quake in Japan and ones here was just a tremor really. Maybe a shockwave from Japan, but more likely the other side of the plate realigning itself.
Anyways this morning we descended from Chomrung and crossed the final major valley. Made the steep ascent to Sinwa that had me questioning whether I could do this but after lunch although the trail got rougher it was less steep and we made good progress up through the Rhododendron forests (which are beginning the flower) and into the bamboo. There are some really cool 50m trees too with Tarzan like vines.

We eventually made it to Dobhan at 2600m. Each night I’m defeating all comers at Tigers and Goats. Although one guy took a couple of games off me eventually. The Nepali find it hilarious to see their friends lose to a westerner.
Tomorrow to Deurali at 3200m, but we have to travel in the morning to reduce the avalanche risk.
