Back (on) from trek


I planned to make a separate entry for each day in the trek, but since internet here is extremely slow I’ll be brief…
The trek eventually took 6 days. We started not far from Manali (Kulu valley) and made our way to Spiti valley via Hampta pass (~4300 m).
We had a guide, cook, horseman and eventually 2 porters with us. Most days started with nice weather and deteriorated into rain, hail and mud around 2pm. Nights were spent in tents, in beautiful locations which usually means places exposed to wind where you freeze at night :)
We eventually made our way through the pass to a small village on the Lahaul-Spiti road and took a jeep to Okaza, the ‘capital’ of Spiti, a part of India which is actually similar topographically and culturally (although it seems like Indian authorities are trying to change this) to Tibet. The ride was hard, 120km in 8 hours. Dan left on his way to Israel, for now I’m travelling with Eitan and Dror.
Attaching a picture from day 5 of the trek, of our kitchen tent and mountains at night.
