We started our day at 4.00 a.m. plan to overcome the Cho La pass. It was very dark, only the headlamps saved us from the black veil before our eyes. And so we slowly walk one after another, higher and higher up. Before dawn, you only see the legs of the comrade walking in front, but when the sun's rays began to reflect off the snowy peaks, everything around seemed unreal, like scenery... 5.50 a.m., we reached the summit, well, not the summit, we thought so. But it turned out that it was not the pass yet. Yes, this happens in the mountains) The ascent from the village of Dragnag occurs along a rather steep loose rock of large boulders. Rockfalls are not uncommon here. In the area of the saddle there is a narrow ledge, to the right of which there is an almost vertical slope, and below there are sharp stones and a glacial lake, at the bottom of which, one must assume, lie many dead bodies. The descent to Dzongla, although not very steep, passes through the slippery surface of the glacier among the crevices. Everything is quite passable, if the weather has not worsened, if a lot of snow has not suddenly fallen, if stones have not started falling, if these stones have not dragged you into the gorge, if you have not twisted your ankle, if your coordination has not been disrupted by altitude sickness, if your heart has not become ill from the altitude ... Then everything will be fine))) Having overcome the pass, we go out onto the snow and ice cover, flooded with bright sunlight, this will be the end of the difficult sections for today. Having already reached the next lodge, we will have a dilemma, to go to the next destination, thereby shortening the high-altitude overnight stays or to stay here and rest ... In the morning the weather will be fine and we will visit the highest mountain bakery in the world, everything is simple here for a person accustomed to the benefits of civilization, but this place is legendary. In the evening we will warm ourselves by the stove and sing songs. ______________________________________________________________ Friends! Want to help the channel grow and develop? ????
