The plan for today is to make up early to view the sunrise amdist the mountains, then after an early breakfast, walk up the ridge towards Mardi himal. There is a well-established trail through the grass that also occasionally contains a couple of stepper sections. However, it is not too challenging. Here, you can look for yak, cow grazing in the fields. In the summer, the sheeps and goats from lower villages are brought up here to graze, so you will likely pass a number of herder's huts along the way. After three hours, you should reach the Upper view point. This is where one can look into the Annapurna Sanctuary. The panoramic view of the mountains massif of the Annpaurna is also spectacular.
