Day three was much easier than day two, and it was a beautiful day even after the thundering and lightening the night before (thankfully it was only at dinner time and while we slept - it was still quite fun though :). I had my last soya milk (I bought two in Kathmandu that were non-dairy!) in my coffee which was AMAZING and gave the rest of it to Binita who devoured it like a crazed animal (apparently soya milk has a good bit of sugar in it?), had fried rice and egg for breakfast and then me, Betty, Sagadev (our guide) and Bijay (our porter) headed off. The small ups and frequent flats (and even some downhills) of the walk had me feeling like we picked the right trek: something that we would enjoy and wouldn't kill us. We had an awesome dal bhat (lentil soup) with curry and some ginger tea (my drink of the trek) for lunch and enjoyed the spectacular view, complete with prayer flags and ponies. We passed another army checkpoint and watched a helicopter fly overhead (to rescue someone? Somewhat creepy, though I was glad to see it was possible) and arrived at Pilgrime Guesthouse in Langtang at an early 1pm. We changed into dry clothes, napped and relaxed the rest of the day. Rough day :)
