Today we left the crowds behind, turning west to take a path less traveled on our way to our second high pass, Cho La. We really enjoyed the relatively easy walk and appreciated having the trail virtually to ourselves again. In addition, we were treated to a deep blue lake and narrow valley views.
Once again we were fortunate to have Tanka making his way to the next village ahead of us. As we were approaching the village we met three trekkers who were turned away at the lodges for lack of available beds. After a long day of crossing a mountain pass they had to walk a few more hours than they had counted on.
What a view! This evening with a clear sky and a big moon, Cholatse felt like it was in the front yard of the lodge and Ama Dablam was perfectly silhouetted in the background.
