lets see how far we got...
wat a B E A utiful valley. not a bad photo either.
ah, the bridges get tougher. this one's just a mere ladder across !
hey, i have seen this guy b4! hmmm?!
clouds cover the view of the peaks.
there, u see a glimpse .
from my and zoheb's face u can tell that we don't look all so well.
that's when the effect of the altitude comes in, its the mountain sickness. and the lack of oxygen.
and the hard work has taken a toll on our bodies.
yet, we're still smiling and our goal is fixed! we move onwards!
silhouetted against the bright cloudy sky are ken and anu, they were mostly on the follow and we were ahead. so i turned back and got this gr8 pic!
looks amazing doesn't it ? on the bottom left u can see tiny spots of colour red and white, that's us on our path, minuscule compared to our gigantic mission.
eventually, the grass got scanty and barren rock begun! our terrain went yet another makeover.now we knew its closer to home. wet rock in the pic.
anuragini gupta. i dun think i ever mentioned her full name b4, jus call her anu all the time. 
tushar malik. 
do you see the clouds better now? 
talking about a new experience!
that's tushar consumed by the giant ice mouth!
i tried to push it's belly , so it'll vomit tushar back out. 
then i climbed on top, celebrating our victory over the creature! haha. 
haha, tushar tempting the giant again.
look at zoheb holding the big piece of ice! wow! Ahmednova!
time to move on... more clouds in our path.
it gets weirder! look at this tree, its growing horizontally out from the vertical face of the hill! 
zoheb's under the weirdo tree, see the sharp 90degree bend! 
that's me, i dared to touch it! yeah!
nice inflorescence. ever seen them before? Himalayan flowers!
oh no! its dried up!
weird plant. its leaves were like 'hairy' , felt velvety.
a long walk later, we're finally at Macchhapuchre base camp (MBC).
that's me there , and zoheb.
here's ken.
sam hiding his face, he felt bad about having an affair with porter dai! lol.
that's the local lodge owner's son.
a fun night spent at MBC. playing cards with close friends after dinner. nice! 
ken . haha. finally a different look on a photo. that's coz i shocked him . it was pitch black outside the rooms, and we were talking. he didn't know when i pushed the trigger, and snap-flash! 
sam, gd night!
finally, we got to use the sleeping bags we brought along! it was so cold, we had to sleep in them to keep warm.
anuragini gupta. i dun think i ever mentioned her full name b4, jus call her anu all the time.she's from chandigarh, punjab (india).
tushar malik.hey can u appreciate the clouds blowing over the hills just above him?
do you see the clouds better now? ah! these clouds are not getting lower, we actually are at their level...
soon we walked through the clouds. it was an experience out-of-this-world.
don't u ever wonder when u look out the window in your plane, what it would be like to feel the clouds pass you?
well we did feel exactly that. it was amazing and kinda spooky too, coz these clouds are blown across by a strong breeze and u see 'white' all ard u!
talking about a new experience! just wait for this. can u look at this pic and guess what that white thing is?
well, we came across an isolated piece of ice/snow.
yes! i guess it fell from the top of the hill/rock.
and of course, we couldn't stop playing with it.
that's tushar consumed by the giant ice mouth!
i tried to push it's belly , so it'll vomit tushar back out.hey! it was cold, and at least i tried! 
so tushar did get out. he tried to hit the ice-monster with his stick. hahaha. lol

Himalayan flowers!oh no! its dried up!weird plant. its leaves were like 'hairy' , felt velvety.a long walk later, we're finally at Macchhapuchre base camp (MBC). that's me there , and zoheb.here's ken.we actually decided, that we'd not continue the trip, as our health was at stake (some got really sick = zoheb) and it was getting dark. and ABC was just 30 mins away, so we'd just go there the next morn.
sam hiding his face, he felt bad about having an affair with porter dai! lol.
