Soldang village in Google. Earth
Adam Angel reports that the team really enjoyed their stay in Soldang, a very attractive little village up close to the Nepal-Tibet border. He said the local people were harvesting barley, and singing in the fields as they worked. Today they climbed up over the Komas Pass (about 15,500 feet) and dropped down to Komas village (about 14,100 feet). They had some sleet and rain today as they crossed the pass, but the weather has improved as they dropped back down. The overall weather trend is improving so hopefully they will not have any further issues in the high passes to come.
