We climb again to Hinko Cave, an overhanging rock. Our further climb paves the way to Deurali and we will stop at Deurali (3200). Continue trek to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC). We make a gentle climb through a river bed and then a steep climb over to the mountain side. There are possible avalanche areas at some point on the trail. We have to be on alert to protect ourselves. The hike from Bagar to Machhapuchhre Base Camp is somewhat strenuous but the unfolding view of the majestic Machhapuchhre is certainly a rewarding experience.
