Seemed like i had a decent sleep. My breathing is bettor and i have this great view of clear mountain from my window. Thought it was Ama dablam but was Mt Taboche actually. Cajole myself out of the bed. I feel week. But i had to get the pictures of the beautiful mountains around. Had soup and see all the people leave for the next level. That gets very depressing being all alone in the hotel where no phone call, no TV, and nothing around. Had a poridge which i almost finist. Good something is going down the throat. Just sit around in the Glass house feeling the warmth. Felt like a day and but was just 10 am. Had enough. Was suggested to hike up till the Snow line on the mountains and come back. which would help in acclimatizing. Get my things and off to the hike. Really? though week, i feel the springs in my feet thinking about the hike to snowline!! Sounds good isnt it hiking to the Snow line. Get to the Stupa which i can see and there is not really any paths. Just straight climb up the mountain. But things here look quite nearer than they actually are. I was supposed to take the accent slowly, but i see clouds engulfing the valley and i have seen how quickly weather changes here. I bettor hurry up. Push my self up and prolly much faster than i should but couldnt help. Ond more climb and i am at the snow line. Pretty slippery up there with the clear sun melting it away. It was amazing view from up there. Could the see the valley we traveled yesterday and also the valley which i would be walkking tomm that is if i am ok. Gained an additional 650 meters of altitude in the climb from Dinboche. By now i have run out the bottle of water i brought and i am also feeling hungry. Man i hate exherting when hungry eats into the reserves u see. But i had no choice and had to come donw any way. Its a long way down. Its much faster than going up but still takes like 30 mins compared to 1.5 hours of climb. Get into another lodge as the previous one i stayed was closing down for the season. And i see a group here for the day. Great i am not the lone guy hiking up to Lobuche tomm. few of them had trekked to snow line as well and walked at that level till chukung to see the glaciar. But i was pretty broken with the hike i had. Hope i dint push myself too much and will be ok by tomm. Tough three days ahead if i am walking up. Lets see how it goes.
Mt Toboche for the wake up view. Kinda thought it was Amadablam...
Taboche...
Mt Amadablam looks so different from its side...
Then i climb up ...
Can see the whole town...
Going all the way till snow line...
Me posing with the way towards lobuche in the back ground...
They pile the stones like this...
Going straight up...
Leaving the town way below.... can see the whole valley now...
Finally i am above the snow line...
Tempted to go up but i have run out of water... and i am tired...
The poser...
Fantastic views from up there...
Get back the wrong way and there is no path just end up jumping from compound to compound!!
Yup! i been all the way up and is cloudy now where i was...
A well earned meal...
The evening at the dining room with the stove on... those are solar heaters lying around...
