I trekked for 8-11 hrs a day. Freezing weather. A small makeshift plastic tent...
A wonderful but very hard trip. Went up to ~ 5000 meters. My age did make it harder still. The Himalayas were my constant companions; and often the only companions besides my guide.
Hardly saw any tourists. Once in a while, after about 2500 mts ran into scattered colony of locals...
A country for the young..mostly. Rough, hard environment.
I visited the ER at home today..severe fall injuries, blisters and insect bites all over.
' I too hike ', said the specialist at the hospital. ' I don't get these ', he said.
' I was thinking and camping for 2 weeks from 2k mts to 5k mts. over the Himalayas ', I said. A bit different than hiking in the evenings at home, I added.
Good to be back home.
' can a 4x4 go up them hills ', asked Rayyan.
