COLLAGE

 

BACK AT DHUNDI

WE REACHED DHUNDI AGAIN AT ABOUT 6.30 PM. WE HAD BEEN ON THE TRAIL FOR ABOUT 11 HRS.
WE HAD COVERED A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 12-14 KMS.
WE CLIMBED ABOUT 3000 FT TODAY.
AND ALL OF US WERE DEAD TIRED NOW......OUR BODIES WERE ON AUTO PILOT.....THE LEGS WERE MOVING ON THEIR OWN BECAUSE OUR MIND AND BODY BOTH WERE NUMB.................
TOMORROW WE WOULD BEGIN OUR TREK TO CHANDERTAAL AND DEOTIBBA BASE CAMP.............
BUT LUDDER HAD ASSURED US THAT THE FIRST DAY OF THE TREK WAS A CAKEWALK........OTHERWISE I AM SURE SOME OF US WOULD HAVE CHICKENED OUT.......
