Today is a day of highs. We go through Pangla Pass, at over 5000m high, one of the highest roads in the world. The view from the top gives us a good view of the highest mountains in the world, though it is quite cloudy today. It is also very exposed, and the wind bites crisply, though this doesn’t prevent some souvenir sellers making this their place of work. We also visit the highest monastery in the world, the highest toilet in the world (probably?) and, of course, the base camp of the highest mountain in the world, although the clouds prevent us getting a clear view of Everest’s peak from here.

On a low note, I am now considering leaving the truck as I am wearying of the group travel. I can’t do this in China as we are on a group visa, but am thinking about it once we get out.
