As we move out of Burphu village the scene is excellent,
with Gori flowing down and the snow covered Birjeganj Dhura in the centre.

The slowly climbing trail towards Biljhu village from Burphu village.

The Biljhu village is in ruins and only few families stay here.

We stopped at this tea shop for tea and some views. Excellent view of Trishuli from here.

Refreshed we moved out of the village now in ruins.

As we moved in line of the stream flowing between the two villages the Nanda Devi peaks dominate the sky line.

In distance the Milam village comes into view. Trishuli is still seen from where Gori flows.

We leave Gori and enter the Gunkha gad valley.

This man carried 40 kg of weight from Selapani to Milam. We may have failed from Selapani to Lilam itself.

Burphu village comes into view.
This time we did not enter it and took the trail going straight to the bridge over Gori.

Pande waits at the bridge over Lawn gad looking at the zigzag trail going to Martoli village.

Pande finally reaches the top.
The trail from Birjeganj Dhura to Burphu is seen on the opposite side behind him.

Looking towards Milam, Trishuli dominates the skyline.

Martoli village with Martoli peak dominating above it.
Do you notice the jungle on one side. It’s the protected jungle of the villagers and so it is still there.
