Then we trek marginally downhill to Pothana (1950m) up again to Deurali (2100m). It is at first very steep leaving Forest Camp however before long gets less steep as you again get up on the ridge.

Again we leave Low Camp in the wilderness, however, the trees before long get smaller and after round. After an hour of trekking, we get into the wilderness and onto the open edge with spectacular views of Machhapuchhre ahead and Annapurna South. From that point onward, we trek down to Siding through Low Camp. From Siding, we drive back to Pokhara.
