Itinerary description

Show original

We do not get up at 3:30 in the morning to be ready at four to start the ascent to Thorong La Pass. We start the march in the dark with the frontals, we do not expect almost four hours of ascent where the ascent is not as bad as the cold that it does. We stopped at a Tee House to drink something hot to warm up. At last the sun rises and as we get to the pass begins to rise an unbearable blizzard. Once we arrive frozen up we enter the Tee House to take something hot again and try again to warm up, impossible mission. We take the photo of rigor and quickly begin the descent trying to get down as soon as possible to avoid the blizzard that is at the top. As we go on extending the wind it will marinate. The descent is quite intense and continues until you reach Muktinath, where the Trekking ends.
