**The times listed are from start to stop and include lunch and whatever else happened throughout the day.

Day 3: We stopped in Dharapani because Chandra had a "friend" he wanted to see. This was also the night I ate in the kitchen with the family, Nepali style. It was really amazing.

Day 6: This is when I started getting AMS, so we took an extra rest day in addition to the recommended one.

Day 13: This is where our schedule started to fall apart. There are natural high winds that start in this area around 10am and we got caught in them. It was blowing right in our face so we decided to stop in Jomosom. Good thing too, as it started to rain and snow shortly thereafter.

Day 14: We wanted to go further but we stopped due to a light rain that later turned into a heavy downpour. I think I can say that the lodge here was my favorite. The lady was like a mother to all the trekkers, and just full of life. They also kept putting hot coals under the table to keep us warm and toasty (most lodges would forget to replace the coals.)

Day 15: We wanted to get as close to Tatopani as possible, but it just didn't happen as I'm slow on the descents. We had lunch in Kalopani and the view was one of the best. I'd liked to have stayed here overnight.

Day 16: I knew there were natural hot springs in Tatopani so I wanted to get there no matter what. I also knew that I was going to take a rest day there and enjoy them, that's why we trekked for so damn long. I was beat at the end of this day, we really humped it to get there.

Day 18: Tatopani to Ghorepani is ALL uphill. We came real close, but we didn't make it all the way and had to stop at Chitre. It left a short trek for the following day.

Day 19: The reason why we only trekked for about an hour was because Poon Hill is in Ghorepani. The sunrise from Poon Hill is supposed to be amazing, and I wanted to see it. That said, we had to wait another day for it.
