Day 3 - Landrung to Chumrung

The summary for Day 3 is bridges and stairs.  We started the day with a short downhill walk to the Modi Khola River (4,594') and then crossed the river on a huge metal suspension bridge.  After making it across the river, it was time to start heading back up the other side through the rhododendron forests, terraced hills, and our final destination of the day at Chumrung (7,120').  The trail is amazingly green and lush and we can't get enough of the gorgeous terraced hillsides.
