Sikkim Trip – Day 6
Posted in: Travel ExperiencesLocation: Tshokha to Dzongri
Distance: 9 Kms
Height: 14000 ft
Date: 5-Oct-09
The day started on a good note. After last night rains, the morning was bright & sunny. It is said that at high altitudes weather is best at early morning between 5 to 9 am. This is also the time to have the best view on the mountains, which are otherwise hidden behind fog & mist.
Even after not sleeping previous night, I felt fresh in the morning. Probably that was due to the surroundings. The first thing we did was to spread our cloths to get dry.
There are times when you feel like living in a place like this, but then I guess it is a momentarily feeling as it is really hard to live at high altitudes. Anyhow, sometime I wish few moments could last forever and that morning was one such moment. Right after stepping out of the tent, we could see the magnificent peaks of Himalayan range. Mt. Pandim was very prominent.
First day of camp, breakfast was served right under the sky with Himalayas towering from behind. Nothing could have been better. It was an awesome site and experience.
We resumed our trek at around 0830 hrs for Dzongri. It was difficult then the previous day trek from Yuksam to Tshokha. In fact, I felt like I was in a fairytale, going to a dangerous place to rescue a Princess…. Someone like Sindbad – the sailor. J
V as usual was ahead of us… he covered the trek in 3 hrs 15 min. I was the snail, walking slow and stopping at every possible opportunity. At around 1300 hrs it started drizzling. We reached Dzongri at around 2 PM. I had slight headache and a nausea, so I was given hot garlic soup. The weather has not improved till then and all people were in there sleeping bags.
