HEY! Look who's finally posting on this blog again. The trek was amazing!! I couldn't believe it. I experienced every season in the last two weeks. Starting in Bhule Bhule, it was hot and humid summer weather; feeling more like a jungle. As we continued up the trek, it slowly got dryer and started feeling like fall. Leaves were changing colour in some areas, and a breeze would make for wearing your fleece. Finally we got to a village called Yak Kharka and it was winter time. There was a wet snow on the ground and you needed a few layers to keep warm. What a wonderful hotel that was. It was raining all day and of course we stayed in the top floor of the guest house, but we ere rudely awoken in the night to the sounds of drips. Well, I wasn't. I probably would have slept through a flood. But we moved all our gear to the grounds rooms and finally got back to sleep. We complained about the incident in the morning and got the room for free. A whole 3 dollars was saved hahaha. We made it to the pass finally and it was spectacular. Snow on the ground, and a slight wind made for a clear day with full mountain and sun views. A total of 5416 meters above sea level or 18,000 feet. I wasn't low. We continued walking down the trek, which was all of sudden more tiresome. Something about reaching the pass drains every ounce of energy from you. Back in Pokhara again, sipping beer in 32 degrees weather. We booked our tickets to Bangkok for the 29th, so we should leave back for Kathmandu in 2 days. More posts to come as soon as interesting things happen to me.
Your partner in crime,
Kai
Just the name Pokhara brings back memories for me. I think it is wonderful you included your grandfather in your trek, he will always be a part of the memory. Looking forward to hearing more from you Kai. . . and seeing photos!
