Day 5

We started walking early today. We had to get to Singhakali Higher Secondary School before lunch and we knew that the walk was not going to be easy. We had to walk through a place where there had been a landslide as as we passed it, we could see some stones rolling down. It was scary as anything but all of us managed to get past it safely. We reached to Tingla VCD on time and met with the principal of the school. He told us that the school was closed but he had managed to collect some students who lived near by for the orientation. We had a good time connecting with the students while our technician completed the installing the filter. The principal thanked us with a very delicious lunch and after that we started our long walk to Pattale VDC.




It took us more that four hours to reach our next destination. As we walked 5 out of 8 of us were experiencing something weird! Were scratching our self all over. We stopped at a place to realize that we were bitten by some bed bugs! Our only option was to keep walking! We walked up a steep hill for almost half the way and when we reached there, we were all so hungry. After grabbing something to eat we headed to the school. Here too the school was closed but the management had asked to students to come for an hour. We finished the orienting them but the installation was taking a while. All the teachers present were helping us with the installation but unfortunately we faced some technical difficulties. It was starting to get dark and one of the founders of the school invited us to stay with her for the night. We had our transportation ready but we had to stay for the night as it was getting dark and the local people promised to take us to a place next day to show us Mt. Everest. We couldn't say no to that!
