Annapurna Trek - Day Six

Day Six - Dovan to Deurali - 400 metres ascent

Fairly easy day with only 4 hours walk to get further acclimatised and spend a night above 3,200 metres. We managed to arrive early at our destination to drink plenty of tea, do some washing (well Nat anyway), eat some dhat bhat and play some cards! Relaxing day before our push for the base camp the following morning...

Warning.
Sign warning of avalances and altitude sickness... no risk of the former but the latter was definitely something to be wary about!
