Well, let's move on but one has to love the calmness of the water.
The day after the tough climb to Rupacot Peak and Resort, we headed down from our accommodation through villages, past a school and to ground/lake level in the village of Begnas. We have been up-and-down the main road a few times, but nothing beats going on jungle paths. We made the discovery recently.
We reached the 'town' area and headed to and past the lake, up the mountain on the other side of the lake and along the top until we reached an end. We stopped for brunch and thereafter, discovered a couple of other places. We headed down, returned through the villages and up along the jungle path which took us back home. As always, we dealt with many 'kids', cute humans and cheeky goats. Actually, the humans can be quite cheeky, too.
Lovely walk, a lovely time was had. Thereafter, we completed daily routines and settled down to take in a sunset, before dinner. For the first time at this 'hotel', we came across another western family...a French couple with 3 children. A nice experience.
No breeze just yet...still on the way.
Jen's back to usual position...climbing steps which will take us into the jungle.
A view of an ancillary lake to Begnas.
Blue, blue my world is blue...

Down on another side, one step at a time, so many more to go.
Jen coming through a village. On the way up, we were handed some drawings from local 'artists', children putting pens to paper. On the way down, we were looked at closely to perhaps check out our pedigrees.
The path opens up and is very pleasant...most of them are.
A reflection, any reflection will satisfy me. Beats owning a horse or a kingdom.
Mostly clouds but the high mountains just protruding. We had 4 days without sunshine, the first gap of our trip.
Part of the campsite, kitchen and dining room. It is in a magnificent position/environment with views of the mountains, lake and beautiful flora. We found a woman on duty at the back of kitchen and she made us some hot beverages. When it came to settling the bill, she did not have any money, no change. The most expensive drinks purchased in Nepal.
So many lovely little avenues, corners, gaps and even the steps are becoming attractive.
The daily routine involves washing and hanging clothes. Actually, it's a good discipline and keeps one both responsible and clean. Works a lot better when the sun is shining though. Truth be told, watching clothes dry can be most relaxing.
We return home and take in the views until sunset. The clouds cover the range completely.
We met these young fellas at the turn-around point who were very sweet. The little girl to the right was an observer of these badminton players.
A fascinating sunset occurs at this special place above Begnas Lake.
The Annapurna Range is on fire.
