The trail from Chyksadanda was wet and slippery from the overnight rain, and went through terraced fields and forested areas, passing the villages of Hindrungma and Ropesa, to reach the stone staircase connecting the bottom of Tashigaon (2070m) with the top of Tashigaon (2160m). It took just 75 minutes to trek from Chyksadanda to Tashigaon, the last settlement in the valley where we had an early lunch next to the campground.
