IMG guide Justin Merle reports that the Chulu team had a nice free day in Muktinath, then they made their way to Jomsom. This morning they flew to Pohkara, about 45 minutes by Twin Otter airplane. Pohkara is the second largest city in Nepal, but is only about 25% the population of Kathmandu. Today they are enjoying a lazy afternoon at their hotel down by Dal Lake.
Now that they are back to reliable internet, Justin was able to send some more photos from the Chulu climb.
