Arrival in Kathmandu
Hoping we'll be able to send better pictures soon, but on our descent into Kathmandu today we saw these giants of the Himalayas well above the cloud ceiling, which was high. Maybe Dhaulagiri and Annapurna?

What a day! Last night was a chilly -18c (-14 in tents). We got up early to get a headstart on a long day. 1 1/2 hours up to Dampus pass where the Annapurna massif appeared ahead. Then long arduous traverse- 5 miles going up and down the 5000m contour through deep snow. The cloud came in and it made navigation tricky. Then we started to head steeply down to tonight's camping spot below the snow line with yaks grazing around us. We're perched high above Jomsom with views of snowy peaks all around. The tents are pitched on grass tonight, a lot warmer than snow.
