It's cloudy in the morning, hance I didn't wake up early to shoot the stars. 6:50am, waiting for my breakfast, it's noodle soup, but the noodle was so little that I can finish it in 2 scoops of spoon. Though the tea house looks cozy, but the owner is stingy....
Departed at 7:50, feel like we all are getting lazy. There are 2 dogs walking with us this monring.
The snow-capped mountian so bright under the sun, even in the reflection.
The sky is in it clearest every morning, and Tukuche Peak was like reachable when you reach you hand out, gotta take more shots here.
We have to trek across Tukuche Peak today so that we can enjoy Marpha's Apple.
I don't know its name, but it's spectacular
Slow slope is just about 30 minutes, sometime our guide will ask us to take the short cut. There are a lot Ambulance jeep along the trail, they were sponsored by India.
We are getting closer to Kalopani (or Kalapani) after a steepy slope, KalaPani mean Black Water in Nepali. People were enjoying sun and the good view, you wouldn't even feel burning under this fierce sun.

9:45am, there is a pine tree forest here in Kalopani, but we are heading to the other way.
What a awesome view of Tukuche Peak in Kalopani, too bad we are not going to spend a night here....
People here just love the sun, aren't they?
Vertical prayer flags - Darchor. Different from the horizontal prayer flags, Darchor normally found in the residental area, they believe Darchor bring them long life, healthy, lucks, and prosperous. Actually we have seen Darchor in Ghasa, but we found these two are much outstanding under Tukuche Peak.
Kids were around the village, seem like celebrating the last day of Tihar festivar here.
An old man sipping tea and enjoying the sun outside of his house. At 1st few of us greeted at him and take some shot of him, he was like OK. After we left, our friends followed from behind told us that he felt annoyed by the crowd.
A monastery on the foot hill, looks like a Buddist monastery.
Kalopani wasn't big, but we get lots of surprise here, this little kid just sit here and enjoying the food probably given by the trekkers.
10:35am, lunch time! My stomach is like empty, that little scoop of noodle ain't gotta fill my stomach.
