Team Calls from Khare

 

Hello there friends family and loved ones. This is team Mera heading up the Hinku Valley. We moved up to Thangnak City, along the way we stopped in a nice little pocket of small underneath the cliffs type Gompa, we also had tea in a nice little village. Everybody’s in good spirits and in good health. We’ll stay here for a couple days to further acclimatize. We’re having a blessed time. We are gazing upon the glaciated West peak of Mera and we can see everything all around all these big mountains jumping up, pretty impressive. Tomorrow we plan to go to the lake and maybe even work on some knots! We have no Internet so that’s why we’re calling this morning. Thank you very much. You have been excellent. Ciao for now.
