Day 20: Surke to Nunthala

We woke up early and made the massive push to Nunthala. The walk was amazing and the scenery changed dramatically. Suddenly we were surrounded by huge mossy trees covered with wild orchids as alpine terrain turned into an almost rainforest. We walked for about 9 hours and made it to Nunthala just 20 minutes before darkness flooded the valley.

We made plans to head to Phaplu to catch a ride to Khatmandu, a full days walk closer than Jiri. The road to Phaplu is new and we were under the impression that it was quite good.

The walk through huge forests was again amazing. It really took us by surprise how quickly the terrain had changed since Lukla.
