As the altitude continues to rise, we start walking quite slower than usual. But at the same time we have to reach Machhapuchhre Base Camp today. So, it takes around six hours from Dovan to reach Machhapuchhre Base Camp.

From Bamboo, we follow our trail to a cultural Gurung village of Landruk. Upon reaching at Landruk, you will come to know that lifestyles have not changed substantially over the centuries. We stay overnight at Landruk.
