Day 2 - Dhampus to Landrung

Day 2 of the trek is a long day.  We hiked from Dhampus (5,413') up to Deurali (6,500'), then down to Tolka (5,188'), and then up and down to Landrung (5,134').  We were quickly learning the meaning of "Nepali flat".  Luckily, the weather was absolutely perfect.  It was chilly in the morning, but we were in short sleeves by afternoon.  And we got our first views of the gorgeous Machhapuchhare peak.
