JULY 2017 : INDIA : DAY 9 : Base camp (4350m) over Ganga La (4950m) to Shingo (4150m) - 6 hours



Early breakfast in the sunshine in preparation for our first major climb


We begin the climb with spectacular views down towards Yurutse 



Followed by the mules


Some scenic resting spots





Celebrating at the top of Ganda La 




Then the view down the Shingti Togo Valley towards Shingo with views of the Zanskar Range





Active marmots play throughout the valley





Locals take a break from the climb


Lunch to rest our straining  knees





And down we go...


Until we reached the river


Dogs used for leading donkeys and mules


Our campsite on the river with our mules grazing around us



Our busy staff


And a full moon..
