Dallas and Phunuru checked in after a great day of hiking and touring around the city of Kyirong. The team hiked up the road most of the time to gain some altitude. Heading up the road and following the switchbacks, the team trekked to over 10,500 feet. On their way back to the city, the team stopped off to visit a small monastery called Pakba Monastery. Everyone felt great and are excited to see what is coming next.
The plan for tomorrow is for the team to take off early and head towards Tingri. Hopefully the weather is good and the team gets the big view of the large lake, Pigu Tso and Shishapangma (8027m).
