Akklimatisierung

2.11.2022

Am heutigen Tag geht es vor allem um die Akklimatisierung. Wir wandern bis auf 3.500 Meter zum Aussichtspunkt Thakcho, machen ein Picknick und kehren wieder zu unserer Lodge in Monjo auf 2.800 Metern zurück. 

Über diesen Pass hinten am Horizont geht es nach Tibet. Das war früher ein beliebter Schmugglerweg, aber inzwischen haben die Chinesen die Grenze wohl ziemlich dicht gemacht.

Auf dem nächsten Bild ist Bir Sing zu sehen, unser Bergführer. Er war erst Träger, kennt wahrscheinlich jeden Berg im Himalaya und war phantastisch. Wir haben ihn jeden Abend zu Politik, seinem Dorf, seiner Familie, den Sherpas, dem Kastenwesen, über Politik und Land und Leute ausgefragt. Er hat so gut Deutsch gesprochen, dass wir nicht einmal ins Englische wechseln mussten. Nur einmal musste er sein Notizbuch zur Hilfe nehmen, um einige der buddhistischen Symbole zu erklären.

Nachmittags machen wir dann noch einen kurzen Spaziergang durch Monjo. Und nach dem Abendessen geht es wieder früh ins Bett. Noch die Folge einer Serie auf dem iPad ansehen und dann schnell das Licht aus.

Trekking Day 1: KTM - Lukla - Monjo

We woke up at very early o’clock, woke up the hostel guy, stored our non-trekking gear, and took a taxi to the aeroport’s beautiful domestic terminal (it is not beautiful). Our tickets told us to be two hours early for our flight. This was definitely not necessary. Everyone was very confused as to why we were there so early. Before embarking on this journey, I had heard many unfavourable things about flying to Lukla, namely, expect major delays (like delays of days to weeks). So imagine my surprise when they bumped us on to an earlier flight and took that tiny horrible plane off right on schedule. Basically, they crammed all 11 of us onto a tiny squishy toy airplane, gave a brief safety thing (essentially: if we crash you’ll die so don’t worry about it), and off we went. I remember being very angry at this point (what a surprise) because the Austrian chick seated in the exit row was not taking her job seriously at all and not listening to the flight attendant (yes, there’s a flight attendant for a 25 minute flight of 11 people). 

This is a plane. It is also a very bad picture of a very bad exit row attendant. But that’s not my problem.

Just as I was about to push team Austria out of the way and do her job myself, the plane started limping down the runway. For real. It limped. Like one of the wheels was broken or something. At this point I was about to ask if the plane could please be stopped so I could get off. It started limping faster. And faster. I closed my eyes and assumed the brace position. We were airborne. Oh jeez. This part wasn’t too bad actually; Nepal is very pretty from the air. Then the flight attendant gave us candies. Then it was time to land. There were clouds over Lukla (the planes can’t land or take off if it’s too cloudy as there’s no radar system on board), so we did a big circle to kill time. By the time our circle was finished, there was a nice hole in the clouds (I couldn’t see this since I was sitting in the back, this is just what I was told) and the Most Dangerous Runway in the World was visible (again, not to me. And I was fine with that). We began plummeting towards the runway. For real. Like you just fall out of the sky. Again, I assumed the brace position (because someone pays attention to the safety demos). We hit the tiny runway hard and fast, and bounced once (this is protocol; it’s the only way to slow the plane down quickly enough that you don’t hit the mountains on the other side). And then we stopped. Everyone clapped. Not me. If I clapped every time someone did their job and didn’t murder me, my hands would be very tired. Then I ran off the plane, hit my head on the doorway, and grabbed my backpack where it had been left on the tarmac. And then we started to walk.

This is an airport.

           We did a few laps around Lukla because the trail isn’t too obvious. I met lots of nice dogs and three puppies. Then someone pointed us to the trail, we got our permits, and started on our way. Discouragingly, the first few km’s are downhill. Happily, we met lots more doggos and also cute childrens. Not happily, we soon came to the first of many horrible suspension bridges. This bad boy was max tall (unnecessarily so, in my opinion) and took us over a big deadly Rushing River. This bridge made me cry. But then a porter came up behind me (those are the people whos’ job is just to carry enormous amounts of stuff up the mountain on their backs) so I had to get moving. I kept crying though because I’m not even that brave.

           Anyways, I didn’t die on the bridge and we soon arrived in Phakding. We stopped there for lunch and also to meet a lovely cat. Also I petted a baby cow here J I love petting. From Phakding the trail was straight up the moun10 and it was very hot. Also there were more suspension bridges. Luckily I met a doggo who accompanied us all the way to our destination for emotional support. Even across the horrible bridges. A very brave and handsome boy.

Christopher does not like cats. He is also very allergic to them. I love this cat.

POTATO ITEM.  

         When Christopher, the dog, and I arrived in Monjo, we got our permits checked by a nice army dude who was very surprised at how far we had walked. Then we went to the Monjo Guesthouse, which was probably the best lodge on the entire trek. It is owned and run by the Potato Queen of Monjo, a true legend and inspiration. She brought us free Welcome Potatoes from her garden. Also she made us delicious dal bhat (probably the best on the trek as well) and tea. Also she had a lot of books. And a free hot shower (this is extremely uncommon). 15/10 worth walking to Monjo for.
