Day 22 - Dec 2 - The last full day

The last real day of our trek involved a surprisingly high climb over a pass. Although was low altitude and only a 400-meter rise, it felt a lot longer. After a celebratory chocolate bar and Fanta orange, our two vices of the trip, we went downhill.

Our plan was to stop at Australian Camp, a lodge less than an hour from a new trailhead. In good weather, that place has a great view of the mountains, but it didn't look promising. The weather had been getting worse for the last two days and was completely overcast. We debated going on to Pokhara early, but decided to take a chance at the weather changing and giving views in the morning.

By the evening it had become foggy and even rained a bit, although not enough to mark a change of weather.
