Today is the stiff part of the trek, where the elevation increase from 1495 m to 2850 m bypassing several villages (Ulleri, Banthanti, Nangge thanti). At first, we reach Ulleri then cross Magar village at Banthanti with spectacular Machhapuchhre, Hiunchulu, and Annapurna south views. Then cross a small river and climb up to Nangge thanti.

Then the trail gradually ascends with fewer steep sections until we move out in the sun with astounding views of the glacier river. Then a sheer rises via a drier forest before entering Hinku cave and then descends to a river before ascending to Deurali. The trail offers diverse flora and fauna, and the village scene is enchanting with rivers and waterfalls. Remaining time, enjoy the pictorial view, and take a rest.
Today, we climb gently through a river bed and then over a steep trail to the mountainside. The journey from Deurali to Machhapuchhre Base Camp is slightly arduous superb majestic views of the Machhapuchhre along with Annapurna South, Mt.
