Day 94

India - September 2018

As we need some permits to continue the route that we want to do, this morning we need to prepare some paperwork here in Kaza. It’s fine because today we’ll visit places near here and we have plenty of time. Again, Tià feels the altitude sickness. It seems that his body is not reacting well sleeping at more than 3500 m above the sea level.

After the breakfast and the paperwork we drive to Langza, which is situated at an altitude of 4400 m and is divided into two sections, Langza Yongma (lower) and Langza Gongma (upper). It houses a population of approximately 137 people and an around 1000 years old golden Budha statue.

Next stop is Komik, the highest village in the world connected with a motorable road (at 4587 m )

An then, Hikkim, with its highest post office in the world (yess we send a postcard!)

On our way back to Kaza we are really lucky and we see these blue sheep or bharal. They are so beautiful!

Kaza on our feet:

With our guide/driver Chaman:

We have a nice dinner at a restaurant in Kaza, and we rest at the hotel until bed time. Then we spend the worst night of all the journey. It seems Tià ate something that was not ok, add to the altitude sickness that he has this days… I will just leave the rest for your imagination. We don’t sleep in the whole night.
