Day 14

Bamboo to Deruli


The weeping wall

Short hike due to elevation (Bamboo at 7500ft and Deruli at more than 9000ft) but beautiful and icy!  We passed a small stupa and a place called 'the weeping wall' believed to be a gift from Lord Shiva, the Nepalese believe that beyond this point you enter a sacred area in the mountains where no meet should be consumed or bad luck will come to your party.

We had our first of many card games, starting with a rowdy game of spoons followed by Egyptian War...we had a lot of time on our hands with so little hiking!
