Acclimatisation day – groan. We got up a bit later than the usual crack of sparrow fart starts and headed out on our walk above the lake. It was approximately 300m up and we stopped at a Stupa before continuing up to another Stupa overlooking the whole valley.
It was an incredibly hard climb, but the views were great. We then headed down which was hard going as it was slippery and rocky, but we finally made it back to manage in time for yet another good lunch and then headed to the local cinema to watch Blood Diamond.
The cinema was made up of long benches covered in yak hides. There was meant to be a heater but it was crap and we froze. Still the movie was good.
After the movie we headed back to the heater at the lodge, spending the rest of the night, eating, reading and playing cards.
