Early Morning

Some would say we were rudely woken this morning, but personally I quite liked it and you knew you were in a spiritual land. The monks wake every morning to the sound of the gongs, it certainly beats the harsh beeping of your alarm clock. So after a quick cup of tea we attended a…..

However this walk today was rewarded with an absolute amazing view of Everest and the surrounding mountains.

Shopping anyone!?

Woke early this morning, just as the sun is stretching up the valley. Had to go outside to find a free sink to brush my teeth in. Not really paying attention and looking out over the milky river I failed to notice the amazing snowy peaks behind me. It was the first real glimpse we…..
