I was feeling tons better after the headaches of last night and was full of beans. The trek today was steady up along quite a narrow trail. We’ve been above the tree like for a few days now so the landscape of fairly barren.
We passed lots of yaks grazing today.
After a short but steep climb we had second coffee and biscuits with a view of the mountains. We then headed along a part of the trail notorious for landslides. The path was really narrow and a little precarious but our guide dependra helped us every step along the way. We arrived at Thorung Phedi before lunch.
This afternoon I enjoyed an old copy of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets that I found at our lodge and Stephen played cards. At 3pm we went for another acclimatisation hike up another few hundred metres on the path for tomorrow. We saw musk deer.
We then had an early dinner before a cold and early night. We leave at 3:30am to climb up to the high pass in the morning. Stephen is really looking forward to it. I’m excited to get down the other side.
Altitude : 4540m
