🔽 Day 56 - June 9th in the Rolwaling section.

Today we hiked from Tashi Labsta High Camp (5,150 m) to Glacier Camp (4,740 m) via Tashi Labsta (5,760 m).

Surviving a night of relentless gale-force winds that battered the tent. The final ascent to Tashi Lapsta pass (5,755m) involves traversing under rockfall danger. The descent proves incredibly challenging, involving precarious canyoning down a stream, arriving at a glacier campsite after 11 hours, completely exhausted just as darkness falls.

🔽 The Great Himalaya Trail

Hi, I'm Dave Brophy. From April to September 2019 Mathi and I thru-hiked the Great Himalaya Trail across Nepal.

The concept of the Great Himalaya Trail is to follow the highest elevation continuous hiking route across the Himalayas. The Nepal section stretches for 1,400 km from Kanchenjunga in the east to Humla in the west. It winds through the mountains with an average elevation of 3,750 m, and up to 6,200 m, with an average daily ascent of over 1,000 m. The route includes parts of the more commercialised treks, linking them together with sections that are so remote even the locals seldom hike there.

Our logistics were arranged by Narayan at Mac Trek: https://www.greathimalayatrek.com/
