Relative Something

April 11,  Phortse – Na La (12,560 ft.)

We begin the crux of the trek, the hike up the Gokyo canyon and its startling wilderness of woods, roaring river and rock cliffs. The trail ascends a prominent ridge, which we’ll follow in a gradual approach to our lunch stop at Karinasha. Another walk of two hours puts us in our campsite at Na La.

Do you think I’ve grown fond of drinking tea, yet? If my health is holding up, you can bet that I am in my glory today!
