Your hard work has paid off! Today, you will be going mostly downhill. Your day begins with a technical downhill to Dhampus where you will encounter stair cases with sharp switch-backs and slippery sections. As you reach to Dhampus, take in a deep breathe of relief for having taken all those challenges. After Dhampus, the trail is comparatively easier on a fast flowy wider track followed by very less tricky sections. The mountain biking trail from Dhampus to Hemja Milan Chow via Astham offers beautiful view of the Annapurna and the Fishtail mountains along with an incredible sight of terraced paddy fields and Mardi River valley. As you intercept the main road of Hemja, you will follow the main road to ride back to Lakeside. while heading back, don't forget to take some time to visit the Tibetan Refugee Camp that falls on the way.
