The cool shades of tree, much of greenery, chirping birds and after few hours of jungle walk, you arrive at forest camp, which offers  local teahouses. The trail continues through forest, but the route appears firmer than before, trees are smaller, shrubs starts to appear. The change in vegetation gives us feeling like we are gaining altitude and slowly get closer to alpine surroundings. Low camp is famous for epic sunrise views over Macchapuchre and Annapurna Himalayas. It is highly recommended to stop here over overnight to enjoy next morning’s sunrise views. We stay here in tea-house at Low camp.
