We made it! The gods have really been good to us. The sun is out and there has been hardly any wind to speak of. We are told that the Thorong La pass is the world’s highest pass at 5416 meters (17,775 feet). After many “false” summits we finally turn a corner and can see the millions of pray flags hanging from the official signpost. We are exhausted, but elated, already the air feels thicker just with the anticipation of heading down. It has been extremely cold and at times very uncomfortable (especially for John) but the views have been magnificent all day and … WE MADE IT! Thank you Saroj and Sahadev for helping us and carrying our bags!
