8/17 - Manaslu Annapurna: Larkya Phedi - Larkya La - Bimtang

Today is a special day. We got along and good day! The clouds have left and there is a starry sky, it is also snowy, and the snowy mountain ... it's wonderful.
Like everyone else, we eat at 3 in the morning to start the climb, and little by little a frontal worm is formed between the immense darkness. We're very cold at -7 when we leave the store. It starts so early to avoid the glacier wind that starts mid-morning.
It's a very long day, so we go slowly but steadily. We must remember to take something to eat since we will not have an opportunity to eat until we reach Bimtang.
At 4900m we find a teahouse where we take a teaspoon that rebuilds us from the cold, and continue more kindly now and waiting for the sun's rays to warm us up a bit.
We go through glaciers and we also see the Larkya Peak, among others. Towards the end, the path is very rocky and you get to be heavy and long. We reached the pass in about 3 hours and a half, the sun has already left and heals us. We are a bit behind, but we are starting to go down, which is still about 4 hours and 1500 meters down, we have lost a lot of energy, we are not used to such a height and also the cold wears, but we are slowly lowering.
On the way we also find mule forces, remember that this pass is still active to transport things from one valley to another, the mules make this journey about three or four times a month if there is no snow (I say that it is active because the Thorong La is no longer used, it is only tourist).
After a few hours, we can see that the fog and black clouds begin to enter the road, luck that we are already down the road because it must be cold above that I do not want or imagine.

When we already see Bimtang from afar we begin to accelerate the step because we are already keen to arrive, it seems short, but flat distances deceive us and we must recognize that it is a little long. This town only has lodges for tourists, there are no families that live there on a regular basis. Today it also has a small house for us two alone with a private sink and shower with cold water. For many days, today we have a cup of water instead of a Turkish bath or latrine.
Just when we leave things in the room ... the rain is beginning, it has gone very little!
