Dolpo Team Crosses Nangda La Pass

September 25, 2015

Adam checked in from Shey Gompa.  It was an early morning for the team.  A hot breakfast and a few cups of tea.  Time to hit the trail!

”The transition is steep, cold, exhausting, and exhilarating, but the struggle to the top of Nangda La at 17,400’ is quickly forgotten when we see the other side. Miles and miles of open country dappled with light streaming through the weightless clouds of the expanse. We are on our way to Shey Gompa, our first stop in Upper Dolpo, the area north of the crest.”  Adam Angel

The team will take a rest day tomorrow and visit the monastery.  The team is strong and doing great!
