10 April: Arya

Partha trekked up the side valley called Arya.  They are heading for the Renjo Pass.  This area is very remote with only other locals also looking to head over this pass.  The accommodation is more basic and soon they will be in tents.  They trekked into the Cho La pass which is part of Tibet again for acclimatisation.  They will have another acclimatisation day and then will camp under the Renjo La.  They will then drop down to Gokyo Pass, lakes and teahouses again.

Receive an email from Partha who is doing well. His only complaint is of getting used to the cold and his cold feet!  But main thing he has no headaches.
