Day:5 Rowaling

Day:5  We depart Kathmandu early in the morning.  It's a 7-8 hour bus ride through the foothills of Nepal, to the village of Dolakha.  We'll stop along the road for lunch.  In Dolakha we unload our gear, meet our porters and begin our trek.  That afternoon we walk downhill, losing about 2400 feet in elevation, as we decend to the Tamba Kosi (river).  It's just a 2-3 hour walk that afternoon to our first camp at Malepu (2904').
