    October 4, 2024 in Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Today was an early start for 7am breakfast of omelet and buckwheat pancake and milk coffee ( this is what they call it). We met the local schoolmaster who came to say Namaste. I chatted with him for awhile about teaching. He wanted me to come back and volunteer at the school🥰. We were on the trail by 8am. Today was our longest trek yet. We climbed 1100m today up through dense forest much like home, alpine meadows with beautiful flowers and along steep ridgelines. You hsd to watch where you placed your right pole as the path was narrow and straight down at times. The lead guide paces us so well to keep us acclimatized and not out of breath. We had no trouble with altitude at 3309m approx. We ate lunch at 41/2 hours. A local village member comes to the lunch spot in time to prepare the food. Our porters and guides helped serve We arrived in 71/2 hours. The weather was hot in the sun but we were in cloud in portions and they move in fast. We got some group photos then had hot water or tea then were taken to our rooms, a new wooden structure. We settled in and walked back up to the hall for dinner. Prior to dinner we played Dutch Blitz with our main guide, Vimal. Dinner was potato and garlic soup, spring type rolls and potato w cumin seeds and Broccoli. We had good conversation and enjoyed some popcorn then to bed by 8:30.Read more
