Day 09: Chomrung - Dovan (8,530 ft)
Despite modest linear distance covered the trail makes a constant switch back through the Modi Khola gorge. In the initial stage of the walk the route gives the possibility of views but later as the trailheads among rhododendron and bamboo forests it gets scarce but here the birds and Languar monkeys abound. You stop at Bamboo for lunch - a teashop amidst, one can guess - bamboo. From here an hour's walk would take you to Dovan, a place with three teahouses in a narrow, shaded valley.

Day 11: Machapucchare Base Camp - Annapurna Base Camp (13,550 ft) - Dovan
The trek to Annapurna Base Camp ascends at a steady gradient, never very shortly, but the altitude is likely to have a tiring effect. Do not hurry, but ascend slowly & enjoy the expanding panorama. It's a clear, well-defined trail and as you gain height the lodge buildings can be seen ahead. The final rise is the steepest. After some time at this wonderful vantage point we turn back to retrace our steps going all the way back to Dovan.
