Brahmtal, Part 4

Everyone has some baggage and top of the mountain is a great place to leave it, except you start accumulating new one when you come down. Perhaps thats why Everest changes lives.

The tale of the anatomically correct snowman and other adventures

We climbed down and were at our Brahmtal camp late in the afternoon. As we came down we had the best dish of Rajma Chawal ever. I was a bit tired and was in no mood to play so I went into my tent and just lied down. After some time Abhilasha and Akash came over and Akash wanted to build a snowman.

I doing the best at what I do created the structure and ordered them around for remainder of the hour. I did give it my finishing touch of a correct anatomy.

The construction crew and some stowaways
I fail to recall much about that evening and we slept early for we had to run down to Brahmtal lake before we would go back home.

The lake like any other fresh water alpine lake for this season was frozen and we took some pictures and started our descent, which felt like we were climbing most of the time. With my leg and Akash's shoulder we had given our stuff to be carried by mules today.




I could go on, but words are difficult to come by, we reached our basecamp with large number of stops and delays and the trek was over, leaving memories and new individuals who would b part of my Facebook list.
