• Danigar up and over Bogala la pass

    May 25, 2025 in Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    after Bogala La Pass we head down to Yak Kharaka. Warmer weather at the base camp at Danigar, no snow and a good nights sleep. The climb to Bogala La pass required only two long sleeved t-shirts. About 2.5 miles to the top. Much snow the last 500ft of the climb (.5 in). It was a rocky descent as we got into the lower altitudes there were many mushroom hunter and one family stopped on the trail to talk with us (in Napali) and show us what they found. We arrived at our camp in a meadow called Yak Kharaka and we all started a clothes line in the bright sun, to dry what was damp. I took a bath in the local mountain stream in view of a most majestic waterfall. our campsite had many larger rocks to lounge on. I took a nap on one before being awakened for 4 o'clock tea. Many marmot burrows amongst the rocks. Yak patty fire after dinner and I showed the Sherpa's what a satellite looks like amongst the stars.Read more
