Exhausted but in awe

We follow this valley slowly but surely making our way to the venerable Everest. After much tramping through mud and crunchy frost we finally reach a high pass of Mongla La. There is an abandoned stone house here and we take one of the many well earned breaks along with some photo's. We look inside the stone house and ponder on life in this windy and desolate place. There are stone walls still standing marking yards presumably where yaks once rang their bells. Rani did some great poses at the well worn door - check out the catwalk serenade.

Many hours and steps later we finally reached the town of Phortse.
