Have A Nice Your Journey

From Namche we were immediately onto the brutal steps out of the town, but we were so happy when we turned on to the flat route. A couple of hours of easy cruising, then the inevitable climbing started, but at least it was gentle (by Nepali standards!).

After a needed tea break we split off the main drag and left on a very quiet track up to the lesser travelled Gokyo Lakes. Then it was on, on, up, up but at least it wasn't steps, then a lovely lunch at a sunny saddle. We ordered spring rolls but it looked more like a cornish pasty (delicious nevertheless).

From there down an hour on a steep rough track, before a 2 hour climb though beautiful forests with hanging Spanish Moss, before we left the treeline behind and then every 15 mins was very different scenery. It was only when you saw the frozen waterfalls you realised how cold it had become. Finally we arrived at our lodge in Dhole for the night, and I was the only one from our group to indulge in a hot shower, mainly as you get so cold getting dressed afterwards!もっと詳しく
