day-3

**Shikha (1,940m) to Ghasa (2,010m)**

8:00 - Started walking.  

At Tatopani, there was a hot spring where I enjoyed a mildly hot pool

together with Nepali people who wore their pants and shirts.  

The cold shower under the sunshine was refreshing.

13:00 - Lunch and rest for about an hour.  

Had a potato croquette.

From here to Jomsom, we followed the Kali Gandaki River through a famous deep valley.  

A main road is under construction, with some sections good and others rough.

The cafe had a great view of the mountains and a garden with colorful flowers and a dog relaxing in the shade.

I saw Nilgiri South.  

I also passed a large waterfall.

My guide gave me a slice of cucumber on a hill.

17:00 - Arrived at Ghasa (2,010m).  

Stayed at Florida Guest House & Restaurant, which had a garden with colorful flowers and both young and older women working as staff.

It was an 8-hour walk, mostly on car roads, making for another long day.
