Day 2

After reaching Rumsu(the base camp) we went out for an acclimatization walk to Chachogi village. It was chilling winter January 23rd and we were at 8727 feet height, remote village of Himalayan terrain. The evening started with snowfall. We enjoyed snow fall till we get wet and start shivering. There were campfire inside the dining area. So all of us with tea and pakora were enjoying one of the mesmerising night of our life.
