Day 9 - Chumrung to Ghandruk

Day 9 starts with another downhill trek from Chumrung (7,120') to the Chumrung Khola, over a suspension bridge, and then back up the other side through rhododendron and bamboo forests, past the villages of Sinuwa Danda and Bamboo, and finally to Dovan (8,220').  Definitely another epic day.  Today's summary - lots of up, lots of down, a village tour, and an enchanted forest.
