Today we will continue our trek by walking a beautiful and peaceful path. Ghasa is a little village where the walkways appear to be under construction.

As we trek, we had to climb through some thorn bushes, over stone walls, and across someone’s field to get back on the footpath. Once there, it will be worth the crazy detour. We stumble upon a goat herder with hundreds of goats all taking a nap in the shade of the pine trees. This path connected back with the main road.
