Today we are preparing to reach the highest point of our route, the Kang-La Pass. We leave early with the frontal ride, it's 4:30 and the air isn't even too cold but we're well covered. The road passes through the alleys of the village, passes next to a concrete aqueduct still under construction and reaches the path that leads out of the town to the bottom of an immense, very wide valley between the two sides. The path proceeds without excessive slope until it reaches a metal bridge that crosses a small stream. We are at an altitude of 4700m and start to climb more steeply. After an initial jump, the path returns to a slight slope for a short stretch and then starts to climb again. Now he doesn't give up until the climax. We start to see some snow at 5100m, it's slightly frozen but not so much that you have to use crampons. The traces of the passage of other trekkers are evident as the carving of the pass is now evident. Soon we reach it but not without the fatigue we have for the rarefied air, we feel it. After the brief stop and the usual photos, we descend on the opposite side on steep, slippery and very unstable terrain for a few hundred meters, then the path alternates with steep sections and easy sections, however always steeply downhill. We are now 400m away from our destination, a strange wind starts bringing light sleet from clouds that seem far away on the other side of the valley. Soon the icy drops increase and when we are in sight of our refreshment point at Nawal (3660m), it starts to snow. After an hour, 5cm of fresh snow whitens the landscape. If we had left a day later, we would not have been able to complete this stage through the pass. It went well for us.
