From the top of Poon Hill we got amazing views of Mt Dhaulagiri and the Annapurnas - well worth the early morning climb!!! The only bummer was that is was so windy that we couldn't stay up and enjoy the view for too long. 
We had a second breakfast back at the hotel, and then set off to Birethanti for our last proper day of trekking. 
The first hour or so was lovely, with great views of mountains and forests, but then came the 3280 steps straight down! 
While we didn't envy the poor people (and horses) clambering up, the stone steps were really hard on our knees, and we were extremely grateful when we got to the bottom and met up with Peter for lunch overlooking the river. 
We made it to Birethanti just in time to find the best rooms with the best outside dining room perched above the river, and get some drinks to wind down from the trek.Adlibing thousands of steps.
