Safety Note - Animal caravans: In the ABC region, you will frequently encounter caravans of Mules transporting goods. If you hear bells ringing in the distance, start looking for a wide spot in the trail to step aside immediately.
It’s much easier to find a safe spot early than to scramble when the caravan is right on top of you. Always move to the mountainside (the inner wall) of the trail and wait for the animals to pass. Never stand on the cliff-side edge.
Himalayan Panorama: The grandeur of the Himalayas reveals itself more clearly as you gain elevation. While the initial days of the trek offer limited mountain views, the landscape transforms once you reach Machhapuchere base camp. From the base camp, you’ll be treated to a breath-taking, front-row view of Machhapuchere (Fish Tail), Anna. south, Hiun Chuli, Mardi peak, Glacier doom and other small peaks.
