Mardi Himal Day 3 -- Forrest Camp to Low Camp 3100m)

The trail is initially quite steep leaving Forrest Camp but soon gets less steep as you again get upon the ridge, about an hour up from Forrest Camp there is a new teahouse called "Rest Camp" which doesn't as yet appear on the trekking maps, this would make a viable alternative if you arrive at Forrest Camp and have both strength and daylight available -- From Forrest Camp to Low Camp is only a short days trekking through more jungle with occasional glimpses of Annapurna South before getting into Low Camp (2970m) after around 2 ½ to 3 hours. Although there are 2 lodges in Low camp only one was open so there was no decision to make about where to stay -- The open lodge was the last one and was very simple but at least had a fire, which was great as we were now getting to the altitude where the nights were getting cold !!
