Call from Erin
Greetings from the Marka Valley. Erin here on the last few days of the trek. We completed our final high pass today and walked through a variety of weather ranging from sun, rain, hail, snow and fog. Everyone rose to the challenge and did really well. We are now tired but happily settled in camp. We loved the trek and it provided lots of opportunity to take in the beautiful landscape and have great conversations along the way.
Tomorrow, we head out to Hemis Monastery and will spend the day there exploring this site (the largest monastery in Ladakh). Tomorrow night we will take a bus to Leh and then over the next few days will be in touch. I imagine that it will be a real shock to fly back to Delhi soon after being in this environment. But everyone really enjoyed the trek and spirits are high.
One special request: Please post a Happy Birthday to Melissa’s brother for her. (Happy birthday!) We will be in touch again soon.
Erin.
