The Kuari Pass - Day 3

After a hard night, with dogs barking and chasing each other all night long, bells sounding from everywhere, Paul snoring and the Indian army, apparently not sleeping and crushing against our tents constantly, I wasn't in the best conditions to be as nice with the morning kids, which I totally ignored.

So at 8 a.m. I got out of the tent for a couple of toast, as I had eaten so much the night before, and couldn't get anything else in my mouth. None of us had had hardly slept that night so we were all pretty tired.

However, the trek had to go on. The beginning was very steep and hard and only after the first break could I regain my breath and energy and keep up with the group. We passed through an Himalyan Oak forest and saw spectacular views of the snowy peaks surrounding us. I finally understood what it was meant with a breathtaking view, you had to loose it to get to see it.

Arrival to the camp was about a quarter past three. We would all like to go to sleep, though that wouldn't have been a very good idea, as we probably would have to go to sleep very early as there was nothing to do once the night came at 6 p.m.

It was our first rainny night with icestones falling, so we went to sleep hoping that would not turn out being another sleeping disturbance.
