cute kids were found all the way, and they greet u spontaneously 'namaste'!
but then they turn menacing and bug u for 'sweet', 'pen' and even 'money'.
zoheb dealt with one grp nicely!


zoheb actually 'with a halo over his head', gave a whole 5star to that kid, but since others didnt get any, one of them started throwing tantrums,
and watmore, zoheb gives a thumbs-up !

ahem! nice pic.

pleasure. tea with friends, at an altitude of 1500-2000m !! enjoy!


'high tea' ;)

nice tea break and rest. the tea here was good, but the noodles, oh freakily spicy!


breath-taking views already...
sam, used is stick's full potential to support his weight.

oh! please, anyone, get us an escalator!
meet the undertakers.

almost there ghandruk,

zoheb and me taking a well deserved rest, still ahead of everyone else.

we reached there 1st, our 1st stop. Gandhruk. zoheb and me persevered hard, while sam was behind us.finally when we did manage to reach gandhruk, we were so relieved. it was truely an achievement to climb the whole day, with so much wt on our back, like we did. what's even more shocking is that , that local old lady beat us there!
