So its Day 7 and Im in manang. Got here yesterday and we're spening a day here to acclimatize to the elevation. The next two days we make a push for high camp at Thorong Phedi, then on day 10 we go over Thorong La pass at 5540m, The worlds highest mountain pass. Everything is going really well, enjoying the views and friends. No problems. Thanks to everyone sending me emails, and I read them all and the comments on my blog, just dont have time to respond to them all but thank you very much. Had an awesome birthday yesterday, cant ask for much more than hiking in the worlds highest mounains for a birthday present. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Glad to hear Dad is doing well, thinking about you lots. I'll put up some pictures when the internet doesnt cost so much, maybe in a week or so. Turns out we can live on like 13 dollars a day while we are trekking so thats sweet. Eating lots of good food, curry, Dall Bhatt ( rice and lentils) and the weather has been gorgeous everyday. Perfect views of up to 8000m peaks! very incredible. oh the time difference here is 12 hours and 45 minutes ahead, go figure. thats all for now.
Namaste
Hi Brett, Sounds very exciting. We searched various locations on the internet that you mentioned on the blog and discovered some great pictures. The Thorong La pass looks fantastic...hopefully you can download some of your own pictures. How much longer will you be on the trek?

Sounds great Brett!! I just looked up a few photos as well, looks amazing. Will you encounter snow on your journey or will this be a dry hike? Either way, have fun and enjoy the food at the "lodge" they were talking about... sounds yummy! Talk to you soon. Everything here is great... first official day of fall today and it's about 26 degrees! Indian Summer perhaps? Anyhow, take care!!
