We are almost at the end of our journey, we have kept an extra day in our itinerary just in case of any delays. In case we encounter any unforeseen circumstances on the way that require us to stay an additional day, we can use this extra day. You can use this extra day   at any time and if we complete our trek without the need of an extra day then, you can spend an extra day at Kathmandu.
