Awake early, I again stepped out of the tent as soon as daylight came... And a positive surprise...
The sun was out! Looking forward to a great day ahead, we quickly got ready and went to Lokendra's temporary kitchen for breakfast. Eggs, bread, honey, coffee... a royal breakast!
A yak sun bathing :P
Today's trail also passed through lush green surroundings
As we neared the fourth and the final bridge, the path became mucky. A week's heavy rains had made the trail very slippery.
When we reached Bakhim we were relieved to see a small hut-cum-shop. We settled down for a ginger tea. Aditya was the happiest at the sight of the hut ;) (No prizes for guessing why)
Here's a clue why...
After hour an hour break we started the steep hike to Tsokha.
The final climb to Tsokha
The over-crowded camp site at Tsokha
The clouds came back, leaving us wondering whether our luck had run out
Tomorrow we will get our first views of Kanchenjunga... hopefully!
