Today is probably a short day of about 3 hours walking so we have a fairly relaxed morning.

After crossing the valley floor, the walk out of it is fairly gentle and at first we are going through woods and rhododendron bushes but there is not the beauty of Autumn here as everything is pretty brown.

After that we have some rolling but ascending slopes until we get to one final steep and snow covered slope that takes us up to BC. Luckily there are some decent footsteps already in the slope so we don't need to change from our trekking to mountaineering footwear.

BC is on a small plateau with superb views back over the valley. On arrival our cook team excel themselves providing us with superb soup and a dining table and chairs to really enjoy the view.
