Trek Day 4- Base Ganda La to Shingho

Our trek to Ganda La began with numerous hefty Marmots sightings, all along the way...


We challenged Tenzing today we will beat him to the pass and we took an 30 mins lead on him, by starting earlier.. but heck, he caught up on us about 100 m before the pass...


Finally arriving and the Ganda La pass...

The sun was shining hot, but the wind was so strong that, the wind chill made it cold...


Somewhere down the valley is Shingho...
Dr Mondal arriving at the Pass...


Spot the green spot along the deepest part of the valley.. and the furthest green spot must be Shingho...



a few more Playful Marmots



Ganda la out of sight now, so probably Shingho is not visible from the Pass itself...


Just outside Shingho...

the crazy wild berries which Tenzing mistook for Leh berries... and Dr Mondal chomping as if its heavenly fruit! Consequences, burning sensation in throat and in stomach...


Shingho Village
the most beautiful campsite all along the trek ..

Regzin, Tenzing 2 (Horseman) and me...
cake cutting ceremony on final camping night!!
