Three Passes Trek Day 12.

Three Passes Trek Day 12 - Chukhung to Chukhung Ri and return. (5550m). We'd 9 November A tough, very steep, 2 hour climb up Chukhung Ri, followed by less than 1'hour descent. Still not feeling 100 percent after yesterday. Ate 2 eggs for breakfast and a bowl of muesli for earlyish lunch. Hopefully that will help get my internal mechanisms moving (been a bit constipated). The steep climb this morning offered beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, valleys and lakes, but has again left me fatigued and I'm wondering if I'll have enough strength to take on the Kongma La pass tomorrow.

...LATER.... had an hour's sleep, filled water from glacial melt streams (with water thousands of years old???). A nice pot of masala chai back at the tea house ("Chukhung Resort"), had a couple more boiled eggs which seem to have settled my stomach and a relaxing afternoon reading books on the kin, doing a bit of wifi-ing, etc ... chatted with an interesting trio from Holland, UK and Chile who have been doing the trek in the opposite direction, having already done the Annapurna trek immediately beforehand, and learned numerous helpful bits of info.
