In this valley shot, you may be able to see some of the terraced farm plots. Besides rice they were full of family garen consumables...tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, gourds, melons, some bananas, and millet. 

Another valley view. This one amazingly has power strung up from here through the remainder of the trek.  

Himalayan Valley View. No, not all views in Nepal include snowcovered mountains.  

Sometimes the animals heading to market need a lift. In this basket there must have been 20 chickens. 

Sometimes you encounter animals en route to market. In this case, the goats are likely on the way to market for impending Dasain festival. On the 9th day of this 10th day festival, animal sacrifices occur at temples across the country. These goats are happily trotting off to become a nation's feast in a few days. 

A young water buffalo actually yields way to human traffic. Clearly he has not yet learned the rules of the trail - basically, that he rules the trail. 

Here we have run into a trailside hen and her chicks. 

Along the hiking trail, which is also the main thoroughfare between villages in the region, many varieties of animal life can be sighted. In this case, a cargo-laden mule train. 

Here is a far shot of the guesthouse in Banthanti described below.
