couple of villages and increased altitudes. Trekking this high is extremely challenging, but the beauty of the surroundings keeps me doggedly trudging. I feel great; however, I'm very slow, so realistically my new goal is to make it to Gorak Shep. I can't see me getting fast enough to make the seven/eight hour turn around time for Kala Patar or Everest Base Camp. However, I'll be happy if I never take another step up. Trekking among the world's highest peaks, oldest cultures and diverse villages is everything I've ever dreamed of. "Ma koosi laagyo;" I am happy. See you in six days!

The raging Thami River provides hydro-electic power for twenty two villages.
