From the Arun River Bridge (630m) the trail climbs steeply to a primitive tea shop where Jerome Ryan had a Pepsi and some bananas to try and combat my dehydration. The trail then goes through rice, corn and buck wheat fields on the long, steep, rough climb to Sedua (1460m), taking 2:20 in walking time from the bridge. We registered with the Barun national park office next to the camping ground, and then had lunch.
