JULY 2017 : INDIA : DAY 8 : Rumbak (3850m) - camp below Ganda La (4350m) - approximately 3 hours



Camped packed up ready for our walk to Ganda La base camp


Starting off on the trail towards Yurutse



Due to summer rains and melting snow the rivers are higher this year .Nawang predicts there will be several crossings over fast-flowing rivers. Number 1 today.


Some sections more challenging than others




Village of Yurutse


Hand-made brick factory in self-sufficient village


Yeah, another parachute tent



Mint tea?



Colourful rocks


Partridges 



Small lilies


Climbing towards base camp for Ganda La. 





Mules unloaded with all our gear




Delicious three course meal conjured up on kerosene burner



Warming fire made from dried dung
