With this being the largest ascent of the trek, we decided to leave most of our stuff in Tatopani and just bring the bare essentials with us on the steep climb up to Ghoropani. We planned to come back down the very next day (at this point in our trek we were definitely not trying to prove anything to ourselves)!

Two guys sawing (by hand) huge logs into wood planks
Farm terraces
