Annapurna Sanctuary Trek: Part 3 - Tadapani to Chomrong

As we were eating our breakfast the next morning we saw a helicopter flying towards the town. It had been called by two girls at our hotel who seemed to only be suffering from mild illnesses. I guess the mountains aren't for everyone! We watched as the pilot of this enormous helicopter somehow managed to manoeuvre it into this small grass patch next our hotel. It took 3 tries before a successful landing could be made.  

Soon we set off for some more beautiful rhododendron forest hiking.


The trail descended steeply into a valley for 800m, before climbing up another mountain.


Next to where we stopped for lunch was a tree with beautiful blooming orchids growing on it.

After many more ascents and descents we finally reached Chomrong (2300m).
