Day one of trekking in the Himalayas. The lunch and dinner menus were suspiciously similar to the one in Besishahar from the previous night. The only thing that seems to change is the price, which increases in proportion to the altitude. It seems like I will see many extremes on this trip - today we had the heat. 30+ degrees and hardly any shade. Currently at 1390m and will reach 5419m at the highest point. I am reliably informed that I will need my thermals when we get there...
