In Manang - a quick email from Gavin


Hi All

This is a very brief message from Manang, 3500+m alt. We're all OK after dealing with after effects of food poisoning from Kathmandu and some diarrhoea along the way. Today has been a rest day here, adjusting to the altitude. Tomorrow we will be aiming for Thorong Phedi, but may stop before there if necessary.... then Thorong La pass!! Karma our guide has been brilliant.

I've just interviewed two local farmers who are also lodge owners. There is a local glacier that is melting and rainfall patterns have changed. They are working to find solutions to rainfall changes, but glacier melting they can't control.

More later as this is costly from a very remote connection.

Love to all
Gavin, Lena, Ali
