Harvest. (Adam Angel)
Today’s trek was short enough that the team planned a hot lunch at their destination, Saldang. Adam and the Team are staying on the grounds of Dhandup Lama where they are watching in awe as the season’s barley is being threshed by teams of singing, dancing, smiling workers. Since everyone works until dark, their children (who were released from school midafternoon) visited, played, and practiced their English with the team for hours. A truly remarkable and pleasant afternoon.
Tomorrow, the team will trek over the Komas Pass (about 15,500 feet) and dropped down to Komas village (about 14,100 feet).
