Wet wet wet to Manaslu 2pm

Written by  Himalayan Ascent

The team are comfortably resting in Jaghat…relaxing after cooling showers and finally dry shoes. Yesterday was a bit of a wash out. In fact, quite a wash out. Two Sherpas had to drop their loads to beat a descending landslide yesterday. The group passed the landslide scene today and the gear is buried!

They are sharing the trail with 3 other expedition groups, interestingly, including a large mainland Chinese group who also failed to obtain climbing permits for Cho Oyu…The only lodge in town was packed and super crazy with 4 groups but today in Jaghat, Himalayan Ascent are enjoying the peace of a lodge to themselves.

The trekking days have been long, around 8 hr through rain, rivers, many waterfalls and Gurung villages. They’re covering around 25-30 km a day and should reach Samagaon in 3 days, the last settlement before base camp. Everyone is feeling strong and healthy, and also finally relieved to be at 1500m so the temperature should begin to cool off now.
