Today our route will go to the village of Baktim. To get there we will go through a rather long route through Kanchenjunga National Park. Our whole road will run through a beautiful bamboo forest.
The solitary conifers and huge oaks that sometimes appear in the forest look quite wild among the bamboo trees. We will spend the night in a shelter.
